This festival is celebrated on Kwar Sudi Dashami, just after Navratri.This day licensed weapons (or kitchen knife) and account-books are worshiped. Just 11-12 days before Dussehra, Ramleela is played in different parts of India, and on Dussehra effigy of Ravana (a great tantric warrier) is burned.
People say, that VijayaDashami is a victory of Satya (Truth) over Asatya (Untruth), and Ravana was a bad person. But at Ravana birthplace his effigy is never burned. Ravana was a great Shiv Bhakta, he wrote Ravan Samhita, Shiva Tandav Stotra and many other books.
Vijaya Dashami is victory of Rama over Ravana, some say that Ravana wasn’t a bad person. He kidnapped Sita ‘coz he wanted to die — otherwise it was hard to kill him. Even when Ravana was at his last breath, lord Rama sent Lakshmana, to learn some knowledge from him.
On Vijay Dashami, some people worship Rama, some worship Ravana, some worship Devi, some worship Goddess Aprajita; and there are some tantric rituals too that people do. इस प्रकार सामान्य जन के लिए, तांत्रिको के लिए, भक्तिमार्गियों के लिए तथा शक्तिमार्गियों के लिए, ये त्यौहार अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण हैं।
