Bring These Items on Dussehra: In India, festivals are not only a source of joy but also connect us to our traditions and beliefs. Each festival has its own special significance, and one such festival is Dussehra. Also known as Vijayadashami, it symbolizes the victory of good over evil. It is believed that on this day, Lord Rama killed Ravana and established Dharma and truth. For this reason, Dussehra is considered a very auspicious and holy day.

People worship Lord Rama on this day and bring home many items that bring happiness, peace, and prosperity. This year, Dussehra falls on Thursday, October 2, 2025. According to astrologers, bringing certain special items into the home on this day brings the blessings of Lord Rama to the family and brings positive energy into life. Bhopal-based astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma provides more information on this subject.
1. Bring a Bow and Arrow Home
Keeping a bow and arrow in the house on Dussehra is considered very auspicious. Place it in the east direction of the house. Doing so eliminates negative energy and increases positivity. It symbolizes the courage and strength of Lord Rama. It is believed that keeping it in the house strengthens unity and self-confidence in the family.
2. Bring a Peepal Leaf Home
The Peepal tree is considered very sacred, and its significance increases even more on Dussehra. On this day, bring a Peepal leaf home, sprinkle red sandalwood and unbroken rice grains on it, and tie it on the main door. Doing so reduces problems in the house and protects the family from any negative effects.
3. Bring a Betel Nut Home
Betel Nut is considered a symbol of auspiciousness and stability. On Dussehra, bring a Betel Nut home for worship and place it in the safe or wherever you keep money. Doing so brings prosperity and maintains financial stability in the house. Many families also consider it a form of Goddess Lakshmi.
4. Bring Sesame Oil Home
Bringing sesame oil into the home on Dussehra is very beneficial. Astrological belief holds that it pacifies the effects of Shani Dosha. Those experiencing Sade Sati or Dhaiyya find relief. Furthermore, keeping sesame oil in the home reduces the negative effects of the planets.
5. Bring the Ramayana into the home
Dussehra is not only a day to remember the life story of Lord Rama, but it is also considered an auspicious time to read and listen to the Ramayana. Bringing the Ramayana home on this day brings happiness, peace, and prosperity. Furthermore, reciting the Ramayana on Dussehra night brings blessings from Lord Rama.

6. Bring a Shivling Home
Installing a Shivling in the home on Dussehra is considered highly auspicious. If you already have a Shivling in your home, perform a special puja on this day. The Shivling brings positive energy into the home and strengthens family relationships. The blessings of both Lord Shiva and Shri Ram together fill the house with happiness and prosperity.
