Vijayadashami 2025, also known as Dussehra, marks the grand culmination of the Sharad Navratri festival. This day symbolises the victory of dharma (righteousness) over adharma (evil), celebrated with the burning of Ravan effigies, Durga Visarjan rituals, and the worship of Lord Rama. In 2025, Vijayadashami will be observed on Thursday, 02 October 2025, with great enthusiasm across India and among devotees worldwide.
Dussehra 2025 Date and Significance
The Dussehra 2025 date holds immense cultural and spiritual value. Falling on Ashwin Shukla Dashami, it signifies:
-
Lord Rama’s triumph over King Ravana in Lanka.
-
Goddess Durga’s victory over Mahishasura marks the end of Navratri.
-
The removal of inner negativity and the strengthening of spiritual power.
This makes Vijayadashami an ideal time to start new ventures, learning, or spiritual practices, as it is considered highly auspicious.
Importance of Vijayadashami and Ravan Dahan
One of the most popular highlights of Vijayadashami is the Ravan Dahan, where massive effigies of Ravana, Meghnad, and Kumbhkaran are set ablaze. This ritual represents the burning of ego, arrogance, and evil within us.
The importance of Ravan Dahan lies in reminding us that no matter how powerful negativity may seem, it ultimately falls before truth and righteousness.
Vijayadashami and Durga Visarjan Rituals
Alongside Rama worship, Vijayadashami also marks Durga Visarjan. After nine days of Sharad Navratri, devotees bid farewell to Maa Durga by immersing her idol in water with prayers for her return next year.
The Durga Visarjan rituals are performed with deep devotion, as devotees seek blessings for protection, prosperity, and family well-being.

For devotees who cannot visit temples or Ram Leela grounds, online Rama Puja offers a powerful alternative. By participating digitally:
-
You can perform Rama Archana and Ramcharitmanas Path through a live-streamed puja.
-

Online offerings ensure participation in the spiritual energy of Vijayadashami from anywhere in the world.
Spiritual Benefits of Vijayadashami
Engaging in Vijayadashami rituals brings manifold blessings:
-
Removal of obstacles and negative energies.
-
Strengthening of family harmony and dharma.
-
Success in new beginnings like education, career, or business.
-
Divine protection through Lord Rama and Maa Durga’s grace.
Thus, celebrating Dussehra 2025 is not just about tradition but also about spiritual elevation.
Navratri Culmination and Vijayadashami
Vijayadashami also serves as the culmination of Navratri 2025, connecting the worship of the Divine Mother with Lord Rama’s victory. Together, they highlight the eternal truth that devotion, discipline, and dharma always prevail over arrogance and evil.
