Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, commemorates the triumph of Lord Rama over Ravana. The festival is marked by the burning of Ravana's effigy, processions, and traditional performances.

These festivals act as an informal economic stimulus. Artisans (potter making Diwali lamps, idol makers for Durga Puja), weavers (festive clothing), and the confectionery industry see peak revenues. The Reserve Bank of India notes a 20-30% increase in currency circulation during Diwali.

After the humidity and diseases of the monsoon, autumn’s dry, cool air provides a physiological relief. The festivals channel this renewed energy into positive social action, reducing post-monsoon lethargy.
