Dussehra, a major Hindu festival celebrating the victory of good over evil, has found its place even in Greece, though on a smaller scale. The Indian diaspora, primarily in cities like Athens and Thessaloniki, comes together to mark the occasion with religious fervor and cultural activities. Temples or community centers host special prayers, followed by processions, plays depicting the Ramayana, and the symbolic burning of effigies of Ravana. These events also include cultural programs like traditional dances, music, and food fairs, helping to keep Indian traditions alive while introducing them to the local Greek community. Despite its modest size, Dussehra celebrations in Greece foster a sense of unity and cultural exchange.
