17 Beautiful Dussehra Outfits for Girls to Wear This Dussehra

Dussehra Outfits for Girls: The victory of good over evil. Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is a glorious festival celebrated with pomp and grandeur in many parts of India. Lord Rama defeated the ten-head monster – Ravana who abducted his wife, Sita. Lord Rama, his brother Laxmana, and Hanuman won the battle against Ravana which lasted for nearly seven days.

Huge effigies of Ravana and his two brothers Kumbhkarana and Meghanada are built which are then set on fire on the night of Dussehra (also called Ravana Dahan) to celebrate the victory of good or evil. Dussehra falls right after Navratri which makes it all the more festive and a perfectly grand ending to the splendid nine days of Dandiya and Garba.

To celebrate Dussehra, people dress up in their fineries, exchange sweets, and watch the burning of Ravana together with their families.

We are sure you will take care of the sweets department, so let us worry about the Dussehra outfits.

Tips to Remember While Dressing Up for Dussehra

Heavily embroidered suits are best paired with small jewelry, while a traditional dress for Dussehra or a simple monochrome suit can easily be zhush-ed up with a pair of statement earrings or a heavy stack of bangles.
