Dussehra 2025: Creative photoshoot inspos for girls you’ll adore

New Delhi: Year after year, during Dussehra, Indian people across the globe never fail to revel in this festival celebrating the victory of good over evil. Also known as Vijayadashami, it is one of the most significant and vibrant Hindu festivals. Rooted in the epic Ramayan, it marks Lord Ram’s triumph over the ten-headed demon king Ravan, symbolising the end of evil forces. The name Dussehra comes from Sanskrit, meaning annihilation of ten, referring to Ravan’s ten heads. In the epic, Ravan is the supreme villain, who abducted Lord Ram’s wife Sita to avenge his sister Surpanakha’s humiliation.

Hence, Dussehra turns into an occasion when people, along with their family members and friends, dress up in new attire and set out together to watch Ramleela and Ravan Dahan or the burning of the Ravan effigy. The festivity’s vibrant aura and spirit make it the perfect setting for a glamorous photoshoot, particularly for girls. It’s not only a chance to experiment with grace and style, but also to capture the moments in every frame to cherish later.
