About Dussehra

Vijayadashami, the victory of good over evil, when effigies of Ravana are burned.

In 2027 it falls on a Saturday; we add later years once their dates are published. Also in October 2027: World Post Day (9 Oct), International Beer and Pizza Day (9 Oct) and Leif Erikson Day (9 Oct). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s the tenth day of the bright half of Ashvin, after Navratri.
