Dassiain Story.

Hindus celebrating Dassiains because it is the festival of victory of good over evil.  It is mainly celebrated to worship Goddess Durga.

According to the story,  a demon named Mahishasura because very powerful.  Even the Gods Durga could not defeat him. Then Goddess Durga fought with him for nine days. On the tenth day she killed the demon. This day is called Vijaya Dashami.  It shows that truth and goodness always win over evil. 

Another Story says that Lord Ram killed the demon king Ravana with the blessing of Goddness Durga. That is also remembered during Dassain.
People worship Goodness Durga for nine days. On the tenth day elders put tika and jamara on the forehead of younger people.
Families comes together, wear new clothes, eat delicious food, and enjoy swings and kites.
It is a time of happiness, family love and blessing.
