Importance of Vijayadashami Festival:

In the 15th century, Vijayanagara kings started organizing Dussehra festivals. We also get historical evidence for this. In his book Matla-us-Sadain wa Mazu-ul-Bahrain, the Persian ambassador Abdur Razak wrote about the Dussehra celebrations of the kings of the Vijayanagara Empire. In this book, he wrote about the history of the world that he knew from 1304-1470. Thus we know that before the 15th century Dussehra celebrations were held grandly.
