dushera - the victory of good over evil
October 5th of this year marked the celebration of Dushera in India. The offshore CTS team in Chennai created wonderful decorations in order to mark the holiday. I had to recruit the help of Kishore in order to get a better explanation about the holiday and its significance. I hope you enjoy the links below and learning a little more about Indian holidays and their meaning to our neighbors on the other side of the world.
- 2003 Indian Holidays
- Durga Puja (Dushera is part of this nine day festival)
- All About Dushera
- More about Dushera
Kishore has also sent a few more pictures with descriptions that better explain the idea of "Good over Evil" and how that is important to the holiday. I'll be adding those to the gallery soon. Be sure to check back for them. Thanks again to the entire CTS offshore team for sharing pictures and information about their holiday and culture. And, mostly, for allowing all of us to be included in their activities vicariously.
