Itanagar, Sep 28: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General K.T. Parnaik (Retd.), has extended warm greetings and best wishes to the people of the State on the joyous occasion of Durga Puja and Dussehra. He said that these festivals, celebrated with great devotion and vibrant traditions across India, embody the timeless message of the victory of good over evil.
In his message, the Governor said that Durga Puja celebrates the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura, a timeless reminder that courage, righteousness, and truth always prevail over arrogance and evil. It also highlights the divine strength of women and their central role as protectors, nurturers, and creators of life. Dussehra, or Vijayadashami, commemorates Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana, symbolizing the triumph of Dharma over Adharma, virtue over vice, and light over darkness. The dramatic burning of Ravana’s effigies, accompanied by community gatherings and festive cheer, serves as a collective reminder to conquer the negativity within ourselves and our surroundings. Together, Durga Puja, Navratri, and Dussehra inspire us to celebrate victory in mythological tales and also to embrace the same spirit in our daily lives, choosing truth, compassion, and righteousness in all that we do, he said.
May these sacred celebrations bring peace, harmony, and happiness to every home, and inspire us all to walk the path of virtue, the Governor wished in his message.
