Dusserha Legends
There are various legends associated with the festival of Dussehra.
As we have seen in all of the festivals the roots of origin of the
festivals can be traced in the Hindu mythology. According to
legends
Lord Rama, killed the great demon and king of Lanka, Ravana, who
had
abducted Ram's wife Sita. Ram, along, with his brother Lakshman,
follower Hanuman, and an army of monkeys fought a great battle
for ten
days to rescue his wife Sita. This victory of Rama is regarded
as the
victory of good over evil and light over darkness. That's why to
commemorate that victory of Lord Ram it is celebrated.
According to another story, Kautsa, the young son of Devdatt, a
Brahmin, was living in the city of Paithan. After studying under
the
guidance of Rishi Varatantu, he insisted on his guru accepting a
present, or gurudakshina.
