Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh extends greetings to the nation on Vijayadashami
On the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, India’s RakshaMantri Shri Rajnath Singh extended heartfelt greetings to the nation, highlighting the festival’s enduring message of the victory of good over evil.
RakshaMantri’s message resonated with the traditional spirit of Dussehra, which marks the triumph of Lord Ram over Ravana and the victory of Goddess Durga over Mahishasura, symbolizing the ultimate victory of dharma (righteousness) over adharma (evil).
RakshaMantri also called upon citizens to contribute to the nation’s progress through perseverance and service.
Vijayadashami marks the culmination of the Navratri festival and is celebrated with vibrant processions, Ram Leela performances, and symbolic effigies of Ravana being set aflame — signifying the destruction of evil.
विजयादशमी के पावन अवसर पर समस्त देशवासियों को हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। यह पर्व हमें याद दिलाता है कि सत्य, धर्म और अच्छाई की हमेशा विजय होती है। माँ दुर्गा और प्रभु श्रीराम हम सभी को साहस, दृढ़ता और राष्ट्र सेवा के पथ पर आगे बढ़ने की प्रेरणा दें।
