A: It's a bit Indian festival. Granted, there aren't that many questions, but you have to give a country of 1 billion its props. Here's what I got- Dasara (a.k.a. Dusharah) festival is celebrated typically in October. The mode and the fervor vary by a great deal across the subcontinent. Shown above is a painting of the Dasara celebration in Mysore. Different parts of India celebrate the festival in different ways. Some celebrate it as Navaratri, some as Vijaya-Dashami, and some as Dussehra, in worship of Goddess Durga or celebrating Rama's victory over Rawana. The celebrations vary from a day to nine days (for Navaratri) to a month (for Mysore Dasara).
