SUMMARY:Vijayadashami
DESCRIPTION:Vijayadashami is celebrated in a variety of ways in Southern India. Celebrations range from worshipping Durga\, lighting up temples and major forts such as at Mysore\, to displaying colourful figurines\, known as a golu. \nThe festival played a historical role in the 14th-century Vijayanagara Empire\, where it was called Mahanavami. The Italian traveller Niccolò de’ Conti described the festival’s intensity and importance as a grandeur religious and martial event with royal support. The event revered Durga as the warrior goddess (some texts refer to her as Chamundeshwari). The celebrations hosted athletic competitions\, singing and dancing\, fireworks\, a pageantry military parade and charitable giving to the public. \nThe city of Mysore has traditionally been a major center of Dasara-Vijayadashami celebrations. \nThis festival is called Dasara in Karnataka and the 10 day festival is celebrated as Shara navaratri where the Goddess in every temple is worshiped for 10 days in 10 forms with different Alankar/forms to signify different Goddesses avatar.[citation needed] Many cultural programs and competitions are organized in many cities like Mysuru\, Shivamoga\, Bengaluru etc. On the evening of the last day of the ten-festival\, the temple’s Goddesses are taken in a procession to mark victory over evil and the completion of the war. People of Karnataka exchange leaves of Shami tree as symbol of gold on 10th day evening marking the win over demon. Another Navaratri tradition in Karnataka has been decorating a part of one’s home with art dolls called Gombe or Bombe\, similar to Golu dolls of Tamil Nadu. An art-themed Gaarudi Gombe\, featuring folk dances that incorporate these dolls\, is also a part of the celebration.
