While in the north, the festival celebrates the triumph of Lord Rama over Ravana, in the southern part of India, Dussehra commemorates the event of Goddess Durga slaying the demon Mahishasura. The burning of the massive effigies of Ravana\/Mahishasura, which signifies the ultimate victory of good over evil, is a common sighting throughout India, and this ritual is also followed in some parts of the USA on the day of Vijaya Dashami.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dandiya and Garba dances, which are an indispensable part of Gujarat\u2019s Navratri celebrations, take place in many cities across the USA. Several Indians living in the US gather for the traditional dance programs dressed up in traditional attire and dancing to the traditional folk music to their heart\u2019s content, thus spreading the festive cheer on a foreign land.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various Indian American committees and associations such as American Telugu Association, Bengali Association etc. also arrange a variety of cultural and entertainment programs on the occasion of the many Indian festivals, including Dussehra. Committee members and volunteers begin their preparations for the festival much early. At some places, Ram Leela &#8211; stage plays based on Ramayana &#8211; are also hosted during Navratri.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Best_Places_to_Witness_Dussehra_Celebrations_in_USA\"><\/span><b>What are the Best Places to Witness Dussehra Celebrations in USA?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every neighborhood in the US with a significant size of Indians celebrates the festival just like the way it is celebrated in India.
