The entire nation is in a festive mood as Dussehra has arrived. This year, Dussehra is being celebrated on Tuesday, October 11.
The festival is also known as Vijaya Dashami, Dasara or Dashain in different places and marks the victory of good over evil. Effigies of the ten-headed king Ravana are burnt to mark the day. In this festive occasion, many Bollywood celebrities too hoped for love, happiness, peace and prosperity across the world and wished the nation to choose good over evil.
