Its Dasara Time!
With almost 850 million followers Hinduism is the worlds 3rd largest religion after Christianity and Islam. Originating in the Indian Subcontinent, Hinduism does not have a 
central religious organization or a theological system but consists of thousands of different religious groups that evolved over thousands of years. Dasara is a festival followed by the Hindu community predominent in India, Nepal and Sril Lanka.
To quote wikipedia: “Navratri in Gujarat holds a special significance and the Rasa and Garba dances by men and women of all sects to please the Goddess.The Dasara in Gujarat are followed by 9 nights of singing and dancing. Dasara, also called Navaratri, is among the most important festivals celebrated in India. Unlike the festival of Dussera – “the festival of joy,” this is celebrated for 10 days in some parts of the subcontinent.”
Symbolically, Dasara is the victory of good over evil. The most colorful and popular Dasara festival takes place in Mysore in Karnataka and in North India.
