Vijayadashami date and local celebrations
Vijayadashami is also known as Dussehra or Dasara. Ramlila, Durga immersion and regional celebrations follow local programmes. The Panchang date does not specify an event's opening time, procession route or entry arrangements.
Why this date?
Falls on Ashwin Shukla Dashami, with Vijayadashami determined by the afternoon/aparahna presence of Dashami. This is why it can differ from a simple sunrise tithi lookup.
For 2028, Samvat resolves the observance to Wednesday, 27 September 2028, with Shukla Dashami, Ashwin. The public festival calendar uses an India-baseline Panchang; personal observance can vary by location and family tradition.
