Starting on a new note this Dusshera


The festival of Dussehra celebrates the victory of Good over Evil.
This is the day that Lord Rama defeated Ravana, the ten-headed demon. It is believed to be a lucky day for starting a new business
or for buying anything new.
It is a very auspicious day for people to clean their homes, get new furniture and cars. People decorate the entrance of their doors with a toran (floral arrangement) of mango leaves as a symbol of ushering in the new.
Any resolutions or unfinished chores forgotten over the New Year, Dussehra reminds you that you can still ring in the new.
For characters like JC, it is also a reminder to finish your household chores that may have been piling up for a long time!
