The event was organized by Kadal Foundation and Kashmiri Pandits Sangarsh Samiti. “Despite having different faiths, I believe they are all one family and should celebrate festivals of all faiths together,” said Sanjay Saraf, who leads the Kadal Foundation. Dussehra or Vijayadashami is an important Hindu festival which signifies the victory of good over evil. This annual festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor by Hindus across the world on the tenth day of the Navratras.
