Dussehra holds significant importance in Hindu culture, as it signifies the conclusion of Navratri and serves as a reminder of Lord Ram’s triumph over Ravan, who is believed to be a demon who abducted Goddess Sita. This festival involves the preparation for the immersion (‘Visarjan’) of Goddess Durga’s idols and the symbolic burning of Ravan’s effigies to honour Lord Ram’s victory.
As part of the celebrations, devotees often engage in music and songs. Here is a selection of some of the best Dussehra songs to enhance the festive spirit.
Top Bollywood songs for Dussehra celebrations
Ram Siya Ram
This amazing melody from the 2023 movie, Adipurush, is sung by Sachet-Parampara and can be a great choice for the occasion. The song honours Lord Ram and Goddess Sita’s bond and adores their divine nature.
Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram
The timeless bhajan dedicated to Lord Ram’s devotees was prominently featured in the 1998 movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. In this film, the song was rendered in both classical and Western musical styles. Artists like Alka Yagnik, Shankar Mahadevan, and Jatin-Lalit contributed towards the making of this song. The unique blend of classical and modern music elements would bring people of different age groups together on this auspicious day.
Prem Leela
This song from Prem Ratan Dhan Payo hovers around the Dussehra festival and is sung by Aaman Trikha and Vinit Singh. It showcases how pure Lord Ram’s relationship was with Goddess Sita.
Tattad Tattad (Ram Ji Ki Chaal)
The 2013 movie, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, witnesses its climax on Dussehra and Ram Ji Ki Chaal steals the spotlight during the film’s finale. The song is beautifully sung by Aditya Narayan and can be a wonderful addition to your playlist if you’re looking for an energetic celebration on Dussehra.
Maa Sherawaliye
While Dussehra holds immense significance for Lord Ram’s devotees, we shouldn’t forget that this is the last day before Goddess Durga’s idols are immersed in water bodies. Therefore, dedicating a song to Goddess Durga or Maa Sherwali would be a great decision.
The 1996 classic, Khiladiyo Ka Khiladi, featured the song, Maa Sherwaliye, sung by Sonu Nigam.
