Dussehra Festival
Dussehra or Dassera is a popular festival celebrated by Hindus all over India, albeit
with different names. It is also known as Vijayadashmi ('Vijay' meaning 'victory'
and 'Dashmi meaning 'tenth day) as it is believed that it was on this day that Lord
Rama killed the demon-king, Ravana and won over Lanka, his kingdom. In other words,
it signifies the triumph of good over evil. The legendary triumph is reenacted to
the day. Huge effigies of Ravana, his giant brother Kumbhkarna and son Meghnad are
placed in vast open grounds. Fireworks and crackers are placed inside these and
actor dressed as Rama, his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana enact the final moments
of the battle....

Navaratri basically indicates nine nights in Sanskrit, nava significance nine and

Plan the Party
FOOD
Food is one of the most important ingredients of a successful party. Since I am a marwari, Rajasthani Cuisine is a must. Continental cuisine is also recommended because a lot of people, especially from the corporate sector, enjoy it. Having three cuisines is a good idea (especially South India) as it offers a variety to the guests.
ENTERTAINMENT
During Diwali bashes, always ensure that there is one corner where you have a good DJ who plays musics. Flying down good bartenders is also a great idea.
DECOR
Festivals are also about traditions and showcasting your culture. An integral part of my parties are the Rajasthani cots (made of jute), with round pillows, for people to relax-it also gives an informal and cozy look.
BAR
The size of a bar depends on the crowd, but always ensure that the bar isn't crowded and there are enough people to serve the guests.
