Dussehra 2025 is being celebrated across India on October 2, marking the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana. The festival, also known as Vijayadashami, is a significant occasion for devotees to worship Lord Shri Ram and Goddess Durga.
One of the key rituals performed on this day is the Ravan Dahan, the burning of effigies of Ravana, Meghnath, and Kumbhakaran. The auspicious time for this ritual is from 6:03 PM to 7:10 PM on October 2. Additionally, Shastra Puja, the worship of weapons, also takes place during this time.
According to astrological predictions, the planetary movements of Saturn (Shani) and Jupiter (Guru) entering the Purvabhadrapada Nakshatra are expected to bring new opportunities for some zodiac signs, while others may face challenges. Specific remedies are suggested to increase the festival's benefits for different zodiac signs.
