About This Event
Festival overview
Vijayadasami (Bijayadasami / Dussehra) is the tenth day of Navratri, celebrating the victory of Goddess Durga over Mahishasura and Lord Rama's victory over Ravana — the triumph of righteousness over evil. Effigies of Ravana are burnt across India in grand celebrations.
At the Jagannatha temple, this day is uniquely celebrated with the Raja Rajeswara Suna Besa — Lord Jagannatha is adorned as the King of Kings in magnificent golden royal ornaments, crown, and jewellery. This special golden adornment darshan is one of the most spectacular of the year. Devotees participate in aarti, bhajans, and receive the blessings of the Lord in his regal form.
