Happy Dussehra 2019: Images, Wishes, Messages, Quotes, Pictures and Greeting Cards

Dussehra is a very pious Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil. Also known as Vijayadashami, Dussehra is celebrated on the 10th day of Navratri, or Durga Puja. This year, it will be celebrated on October 8 (Tuesday).

2/8

Significance of Dussehra

Historically, Dussehra also holds great significance and considered to be very auspicious. Vijaya Dashmi is the day when Lord Ram killed Ravana, the evil ten-headed king after fighting a battle of ten days and saved his wife Sita. Thus, to commemorate the victory and the advent of festivities, the day is known as Dussehra or Vijaya Dashmi, or the tenth day of victory.

3/8

A victory for mankind!

It is also said that the day not only symbolizes the victory of Ram over Ravan but also the victory of mankind. Hence, religious followers believe that whenever chaos and tensions prevail in the society, or when evil tries to overpower the good, God will come in, act as a saviour and protect the devotees from destruction.

Dussehra celebrations

While a lot of people hold pujas and pay respect to Lord Ram and Sita, Dussehra marks the end of the much-celebrated Ramleela in the Northern parts of the country. Celebrations aren't complete without seeing the effigy of Ravana burn in the evening. Here are some messages, wishes, and images you can send to your loved ones, wishing them a pious and prosperous Dussehra. You can also choose to share them on your social media profiles, status updates, and stories.

5/8

Send these wishes to your loved one this Dussehra!

May this Dussehra all your worries are over.

May you be showered with good health and success this year.

May your troubles go up in smoke with the fireworks. Happy Dussehra!

6/8

Dussehra wishes and greetings

"As Shri Ram kills Ravana,

And comes back to people he loves,

As Ma Durga kills Mahishasura,

And prepares to go back to her heavenly abode,

May these good-over-evil stories,

Inspire you towards your victories!

To meet great targets!

Aspire & Stretch!

Tide over bad times!

Make the best of your good times!

& enjoy it!

We wish you and your family a Very Happy Vijayadashmi!"

7/8

Good prevails over evil

"May Ram Always keep showering his blessing upon you

May your life be full of happiness and free from every trouble

Happy Dussehra"

8/8

Happy Dussehra!

"Troubles as light as Air,

love as deep as Ocean,

Friends as Solid as Diamonds,

And Success as bright as Gold

These are the wishes for you and

your family on the day of Dussehra."
