Dussehra is one of India’s most vibrant festivals, but did you know that different parts of India celebrate it in two unique ways? In this special story for kids, we journey through the land of traditions to discover how Dussehra tells two powerful tales of victory.
In one part of India, we learn about the fierce battle where a goddess defeats a mighty demon, reminding us that courage and goodness always win over evil. In another part, we follow the heroic Prince Rama as he faces the ten-headed Ravana, teaching us about the strength of truth, love, and devotion.
Through these two stories, children will discover that Dussehra is not just about celebrating battles won long ago—it is about celebrating the victory of good over bad in our own lives. Whether it’s being kind, telling the truth, or standing up for what is right, Dussehra reminds us that light always conquers darkness.
Perfect for young listeners, this episode brings myth, culture, and values together in a colorful tale of courage, unity, and hope.
