New Delhi: Today is Dussehra or Vijayadashami as many call it. Well actually, in North Indian states it's called Dussehra while in West Bengal it's called Vijayadashami. It is that time of year when the well-known Ramlila is performed, gorgeous fairs are held, crowds swarm to see Ravan effigies burst into flames, and the aroma of traditional sweets fills the air.
Dusshera falls on the tenth day of Sharada Navratri, however, despite the fact that celebrations and cultural practices vary according to the location in India's culturally rich country, the festival's fabric that binds everyone together remains.
