Why Ravan Is Not Burnt At These Places On Dussehra?
Navaratri's last day will be on September 29 and after this, the festival of Dussehra will be celebrated on 30th September. On this day Lord Ram defeated Ravana in the war and killed him and conquered Lanka, due to this reason the festival of Vijaya Dashmi is celebrated on this day.
