When is Dussehra in 2019, 2020 and 2021?

The tenth day of the Navaratri festival is known as Dussehra, or Vijaya Dashami. Dussehra falls on the 10th day (Dashami) of the month of Ashwin on the Hindu lunar calendar. It's widely devoted to celebrating the defeat of the demon king Ravan by Lord Rama.

According to the holy Hindu text The Ramayana, Ravan kidnapped Lord Rama’s wife Sita and took her to Sri Lanka. She was found there by monkey god Lord Hanuman, who could fly and joined in the search to locate her. Rama enlisted the help of his troops to built a bridge across the ocean (this is believed to have existed off the coast of Dhanuskodi in Tamil Nadu) and engage in battle with Ravan to get Sita back. It was prolonged and tiring, but Ram ultimately pierced Ravan's body with hundreds of arrows.

Finally, he was able to defeat Ravan by using the Brahmasthra (a powerful celestial weapon created by Lord Brahma) and was reunited with Sita.

For Hindus, Dusshera is therefore an auspicious time for reestablishing faith in the victory of good over evil.
