History
According to Ramayana – when Lord Shri Ram was on exile with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, King Ravana of Lanka kidnapped Lord Rama’s wife Sita. In the beginning Lord Rama requested Ravana to release his wife but Ravana arrogantly refused. After this Lord Rama declared war and killed the 10-headed demon king Dashanan i.e. Ravana and the victory of good over evil.
According to another legend related to Dussehra festival – a demon named Mahishasura got a boon from Lord Brahma and he started doing many types of cruel activities. No ordinary human or deity could kill him after receiving a boon from Lord Brahma. After this, Goddess Durga fought with the demon named Mahishasur for 9 days and put an end to it on the tenth day.
