Countdown details for Dussehra
Victory of good over evil! Count down to Dussehra.
Dussehra (Vijayadashami) celebrates the triumph of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana. It marks the end of Navratri and is celebrated with grand processions, Ramlila performances, and the burning of Ravana effigies across India.
There are 157 days until Dussehra 2026, which falls on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. That is 22 weeks and 3 days away, or roughly 5 months. Dussehra is a widely observed holiday, marked by family gatherings and traditions that have been handed down over generations. Dussehra falls on a Tuesday this year, a midweek date — worth noting if you want to plan time off around it.
Counting down turns a vague "soon" into a clear number of days you can plan around — booking travel, sending cards, or simply building anticipation. Many people begin preparing for a date like this two to three months ahead, and a visible countdown helps pace that preparation rather than leaving everything to the final week. If you are counting down to Dussehra, you can add a free Outside countdown widget to your iPhone home screen; it updates every day and can be shared with friends and family.
