The Glory of Dussehra Light of Truth and Justice
Dussehra in Kavali is celebrated with great enthusiasm, devotion, and cultural spirit. This festival, also known as Vijayadashami, marks the victory of good over evil—symbolizing Lord Rama’s triumph over the demon king Ravana. In the coastal town of Kavali, preparations begin days before the festival. People clean and decorate their homes, visit temples, and participate in community events. Local temples and cultural organizations organize Ramayana plays (Ramlila) and processions that attract large crowds. On the final day, effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna, and Meghnath are burnt, representing the destruction of evil and the triumph of righteousness. Children and families dress in festive clothes, and the markets of Kavali come alive with colorful lights, sweets, and toys. Many people also perform special pujas and seek blessings for success and prosperity. Dussehra in Kavali is not only a religious festival but also a time of unity, joy, and renewal—bringing people together to celebrate the eternal victory of truth and goodness.
