Traditional Indian ceremony Vijayadashami, celebrating good over evil

Prompt

It sounds like you're describing a traditional Indian ceremony called Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra. This festival marks the triumph of good over evil and is celebrated on the tenth day of the bright half of the lunar month of Ashvina. From what you've shared, it seems that on this day, parents hold their child's hand and teach them how to write for the first time, using a rice bowl as a writing surface. This is a significant milestone in a child's life, marking the beginning of their educational journey. It's interesting that you mentioned that the parents' and child's faces are not exposed during this ceremony. This might be a cultural or traditional practice specific to certain regions or communities in India. Can you tell me more about the significance of Vijayadashami and this writing ceremony in Indian culture? I'd be happy to learn more about it Redraw
