Happy Dussehra to everyone celebrating! Millions of Indians are marking the Hindu festival - which honours the god Ram's vanquishing of the 10-headed demon king Ravan, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. Celebrations last for many days and are marked by songs, dances and large processions. People often visit family and friends, exchange sweets and gifts, and wear traditional outfits. Dussehra also marks the start of preparations for Diwali - a festival of lights - which is held 20 days later. Click the link in our bio to find out more about the festival. 📸 : 1.
