Sri Ramachandra Vijayotsav (Dusshera)

Dusshera celebrates the victory of Lord Ramachandra over Ravan during the battle in Lanka. After his soldiers were all defeated, Ravan personally attacked Ram. When they were fighting, Lord Ram managed to sever Ravan’s head with an arrow. But, as that head fell to the ground, a duplicate one miraculously cropped up in its place. Lord Ram then severed that head, but once again, another one immediately manifested itself as a replacement. Again and again, Lord Ram cut off Ravan’s head, until altogether one hundred such heads lay on the battlefield.
