Dussehra (Vijayadashami) 2022 Date in India: The festival marks the triumph of Lord Ram over Ravana, and also the victory of Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura
Dussehra 2022 Date in India: Vijayadashami (or Dussehra) is on Wednesday, October 5, 2022. The Vijay muhurat is between 2.08 pm and 02.55 pm on that day.
According to Drik Panchang, the term ‘Dussehra’ is more popular in North Indian states and in Karnataka, while the term ‘Vijayadashami’ is more popular in West Bengal. Dussehra is also spelled as Dasara and Dashahara. Vijayadashami is celebrated as the triumph of Lord Ram over Ravana and also the victory of Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura.
Dussehra and Vijayadashami are observed on shukla paksha Dashami during Ashwin lunar month. If Dashami tithi overlaps on two consecutive days in the Gregorian calendar, then Shravana Nakshatra plays an important role in deciding the day of Vijayadashami. While Dussehra is not part of Navratri or Durga Puja, it is always attached to them, because it falls on the next day when idols of Goddess Durga are immersed in holy water bodies
