After nine nights ("Navaratri") are spent in the worship of Goddess Durga, the tenth day, the Dassera day, is exclusively in the Honour of Durga Devi.
Dassera day is considered a most auspicious day. It is a time-honoured belief that if any new venture is started on this day, it is bound to be successful. Hence, many new ideas/ventures, even initiating a child into the world of learning, are started on this day. The farmers with her blessings wait with tremendous hopes for a bountiful harvest.
