Dussehra is a major Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil. It is typically celebrated in the month of October and is a time for people to come together and participate in a variety of cultural activities.
This year, I spent my Dussehra holidays in a very memorable way. I decided to visit my grandparents, who live in a small village in the countryside. I had not seen them in a long time and I was really looking forward to spending some quality time with them.
As soon as I arrived at their village, I was greeted with warm hugs and kisses from my grandparents. They had prepared a delicious lunch for me, and we sat down to enjoy it together. After lunch, my grandparents told me all about the different cultural activities that were planned for Dussehra.
One of the most exciting events was the Ramleela, a traditional play that reenacts the story of Lord Rama and his victory over the demon king, Ravana. My grandparents and I went to watch the Ramleela, which was performed by a group of local actors. It was really fascinating to see how they brought the story to life through their acting and the use of elaborate costumes and props.
In the evening, we attended a puja (prayer) at the local temple. It was a beautiful and peaceful experience, and I felt a sense of connection to my culture and heritage. After the puja, we participated in the traditional Dussehra procession, which involved carrying a large idol of Lord Rama through the streets of the village. It was a festive and joyful atmosphere, with people dancing and singing as we walked along.
Overall, I had a wonderful time during my Dussehra holidays. I was able to spend quality time with my grandparents, learn about my culture, and participate in a variety of traditional activities. It was an experience that I will always cherish and look back on with fond memories.
