Earlier in her message on the eve of Dussehra, President Droupadi Murmu said, “On the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami, I extend my heartiest greetings and best wishes to all my fellow citizens”. President Murmu said that Vijayadashami festival is celebrated all over India as a symbol of victory of good over evil, truth over falsehood and morality over immorality. In North India it is celebrated as ‘Dussehra’ and Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana is relived through ‘Ravana Dahan’.
Shri Ram’s message of ideal behavior and decency has been inspirational to people from generation to generation. “In Eastern India, the ‘Durga idol immersion’ ceremony is celebrated with enthusiasm on this day. So this festival exemplifies the cultural unity of India, I wish this festival continues to inspire us to imbibe the eternal life values of ethics, truth and goodness and to live in peace and harmony,” she added.
