Dussehra (Vijayadashami)दशहरा

Badealnar observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Chhattisgarh.

Dussehra (Vijayadashami) in Chhattisgarh

Bastar Dussehra runs about seventy-five days and is tied to Danteshwari rather than to the Ramayana — the longest observance of the festival anywhere.

The regional form observed across Bastar, Chhattisgarh. How any one household or village keeps it varies, and is not something recorded here.

Bastar Dussehra, seventy-five days long

Bastar keeps what is reckoned among the longest festivals in the world, roughly seventy-five days, traced to the reign of Purushottam Dev in the thirteenth century. It does not mark Rama's victory over Ravana at all: it honours Danteshwari, the presiding goddess of the region, and is led by the tribal communities of the Bastar division, who bring their own deities to Jagdalpur for it.
