Tamil Nadu History Trip Ideas and Stories

Why and How is Dussehra Celebrated All Over India?

Dussehra symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. The word 'Dussehra' is derived from the words 'dus' and 'hara', where 'dus' means ten and 'hara' means annihilated. On this day, Lord Rama slew the demon king of Lanka, Ravana, after a fierce battle. This festival is celebrated on the 10th day of Shardiya Navratri. If you want to know the date of Dussehra this year, check it out. History of Dussehra The history of Dussehra goes back to the Ramayana. It describes the story of Lord Rama, who defeated the demon king, Ravana, in Traeayuga. The king of Lanka, Ravana, had abducted Sita, Lord Rama’s wife, leading to a battle with Lord Rama. Rama, accompanied by his younger brother Lakshmana, disciple Hanuman, and an army of monkeys, travelled to Lanka to bring back Sita. He worshipped Durga and emerged victorious eventually, marking the day as Vijayadashami or Dussehra. The Significance of Dussehra in Indian Culture Dussehra personifies India's rich cultural tapestry and traditions. This signifies the triumph of good over evil and teaches us that righteousness always prevails.  The Dussehra celebration unites communities across India. The statues of Ravana, Meghnad, and Kumbhakarna are set on fire. This day also marks Goddess Durga's win over the mighty buffalo demon Mahishasura, underpinning the might of feminine power. People celebrate this occasion with fervor, forgetting all the regional and cultural differences.  Why is Dussehra Celebrated? It is celebrated differently in different parts of the nation. So, going forward, we will delve into how the festival is celebrated in the different regions of India: North India In northern India, Dussehra signifies the spirit of “Good always prevails.” The depiction of Rama's life in Ram Leela starts ten days before Dussehra. Numerous theatre groups in villages, cities, and suburbs of North India perform this. Among these celebrations, it's a tradition for many to give gifts on Dussehra to honour the occasion. South India In Tamil Nadu, Dussehra celebrations start nine days before Dussehra. These nine days are devoted to the worship of the 3 main deities of Hinduism. Goddess Lakshmi is adored in the first 3 days, as she is the provider of wealth and prosperity, while Saraswati is prayed for the subsequent 3 days, called the deity of knowledge and art. The last 3 days are dedicated to Goddess Shakti, the goddess of valour. In Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, miniature statues and beautiful dolls are set up in artificial stages in homes, usually known as 'Bommai Kolu'. Eastern India In the Eastern part of the country, Dussehra is celebrated as Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura. It is supposed that after a fierce battle of nine days, the goddess subdued Mahishasura and slayed her, so this day is famously known as Vijayadashami. Idols of Durga are immersed in waterbodies with great reverence. In Orissa, the festival is called Vijoja Dashami. This day is marked as the conclusion of Sharadiya Durga Puja. West India In Maharashtra, Dussehra is related to numerous legends besides Rama. On Dussehra, the flour tree is adored, and its leaves are gifted to the dear ones, with Dussehra's gifts and sweets being considered a good omen. After completing 12 years of exile, Pandavas recovered their weapons from under a Shami tree, where they had stored them. The nine days before Dussehra are famous here as Navratri. The idols of the Goddess installed on the initial day of Navratri are engrossed in water on Dussehra. Therefore, Dussehra has different kinds of importance in several regions of India. Here are the places you can visit to be a part of the famous Dussehra celebrations,

7 Unique Nooks of Chandini Chowk, Delhi

Tucked away in a corner of Old Delhi is a market of winding alleys, ancient crumbling Persian motifs, whiffs of oriental spices, splattered with the vibrant colours of India. In aspiration, it has the stature of the grand bazars of the great Ottoman Empire. This is Chandini Chowk, which was first established by Mughal Emperor’s daughter Jahanara. The market was divided by canals, which were meant to reflect the moon. This city, and the market’s reputation for the finest of silver, gave it the name of Chandini Chowk.

7 Sights Every Fan of ‘The Sound Of Music’ Should See In Salzburg, Austria

Few Hollywood musicals have resonated through the world like The Sound of Music. Based on the true story of the Trapp Family Singers in Austria, and made famous in the biography of Maria Von Trapp, The Sound of Music was filmed in Salzburg. Yet while it does not have a large following in Austria, it is this film that has put the historic city of Salzburg on the bucket list of travellers from around the world. Of course, most Austrians would simply prefer for this to be known as the home of Mozart.

The Madikeri Fort: Repurposing History

By the age of 25, I – perhaps matching the average Indian – had visited, as far as my memory goes, at least 10 historical forts. That was ten opportunities to witness the Archaeological Survey of India’s devotion to disrepair. At least ten exposures to guides who promised to transport the tourist to the courtroom of that great historical figure who once ruled these ramparts. Perhaps ten decent vistas into the surrounding countryside. And around a hundred glorious declarations of unrequited love, etched into sooty walls by perpetually-adolescent males. With this air of cynicism and condescension, I begin exploring the Madikeri Fort and find most of my assumed template missing. The Karnataka government’s archaeological office is locked on the morning of my visit and will stay locked the whole day according to the security guard. The vistas overlooking the town are unimpressive; and the mandatory tourist guide, who might help me make sense of the place, is conspicuously absent. I will discover these aspects soon. For the first two minutes, everything is as expected. The high archway through which I enter leads to a customary series of 90 degree turns – I suppose these eliminated the possibility of charging elephants during battle. And then, just like that, I see a temple. Not an ancient shrine, mind you. The sanctum sanctorum appears to be housed inside an old stone structure, but the painted façade and sheet roofing at the entrance belong to the computer age. The coexistence of two different eras piques my interest. I sidestep the temple, walk through a nondescript arch and enter an expansive area dotted with many buildings whose architecture cannot be attributed to Tipu Sultan. At first glance, they look British and impressive. The closer I walk to the largest building, however, the less impressive it becomes. Untidy scaffolding seems to be holding the building in place. At least the clock in the tower seems to be working, I think, till the security guard reminds me that even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Till 2019, this building was the Deputy Commissioner’s office and, according to a rudimentary internet search, the location of the district treasury, home to a small portion of Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes for many decades. Yes, Kodagu is one of the many places in India and abroad which received his ashes. On the other side of the DC’s office stands the district courthouse, which is yet to be relocated. It is bustling with lawyers and feuding parties and looks no more remarkable than the average government building. The museum is far more interesting. I am usually flummoxed by the typical museum’s fixation on tools of war, but given the gallantry of the Kodavas, the exhibition of weaponry and plaques commemorating war heroes don’t feel out of place here. Exiting the museum, I wait patiently for cars visiting the courthouse to pass and then walk up a ramp leading to a pathway right next to the fort’s walls. The midmorning sun and the springtime freshness of the hill station make my walk enjoyable. From this vantage point of the premises, I see abandoned auto rickshaws, a volleyball court, a post-box, more buildings in advanced stages of decay and the famous life-size elephant statues that pose patiently with selfie-seekers. As I walk back to my hotel, I find my cynicism melting and begin to appreciate the uniqueness of the Madikeri Fort. Most Indian forts are in ruins, literally. This one is refreshingly different because it has been constantly repurposed ever since Muddu Raja, the 17th-century ruler of Kodagu, built a mud fort. As the fort came into the hands of Tipu Sultan, mud gave way to granite, which must have been transported here from far, on carts, through dusty uphill roads. Tipu’s exit ushered in an era of European-style buildings that have been treated like hand-me-down clothing in a poor household. - The former DC office was a palace built in 1814 by Lingarajendra Wodeyar II. - The museum used to be a Gothic church that was built at the same site as a Veerabhadra Temple. - A building in the lowest courtyard used to be a prison which was, for a period of time in the recent past, repurposed as an orphanage for girls.  - And today, given the trail of cigarette butts and tetra packs of rum and whiskey strewn adjacent to the fort walls, the whole premises apparently gets transmogrified into a place for revelry in the night! Somehow, the fort has managed to balance legacy and functionality. That’s why the locals visit it as much as the tourists, if not more. But the exodus of government offices from these premises, which was hastened by a Karnataka High Court ruling, marks the end of an era when the buildings were alive and in use. In addition to the DC’s office and the Zilla Panchayat, the public library and the anti-corruption bureau have already been relocated. What will happen when the courthouse and the agriculture department follow suit? Will all the buildings turn into ruins? Or will Karnataka’s archaeological department successfully revamp the place and get it ready for a new era of history being repurposed?
