Some people feel that Dussehra and Dasara are not simply different transliterationsof the same word, but two different festivals.
Dasara is the festival marking end of Navratri and the immersion of Durga idolswhich are worshipped for nine days prior to Dussehra. Dussehra is also the day whenmany families start formal education of their kids.The Dasara celebrations in Mysoreare popular with tourists, and are conducted with great pomp.
On this day, people spend the day decorating the entrances of houses & shops withflower studded strings called 'Torans' (Floral Gateways).
At night, effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakaran and Meghanad are stuffed with firecrackersand set alight. Children especially enjoy seeing this because of the beautifulfireworks on the ground. The festival, which is thought of as the "Victory of Goodover Evil" and "Return of Rama from Exile" is celebrated in grand style. Because theday is auspicious, people inaugurate new vehicles, machines, books, weapons andtools by ceremonially asking god to bless the new items.
