Dussehra celebrates the victory of good over evil and commemorates Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana. Although the festival is closely associated with India, the Ramayana has influenced cultures across Southeast Asia for centuries. Countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Laos have developed their own versions of the epic.
