Dussehra Coloring Pages

Scenes for younger and older children

This set brings together simple Dussehra pictures and more detailed festival illustrations. Younger children can colour large outlines of diyas, bows, crowns, flags and smiling children in traditional clothes. Older children can work on scenes with Ravan, decorated stages, processions and patterns. The pictures give children room to use familiar colours while making their own choices. They can use crayons or thick pencils at first, then try finer pencils or sketch pens when they are ready for smaller details.

Use the pages at home or in class

At home, read a short Dussehra story before your child chooses a picture. Ask them to name the objects they see and explain why they chose each colour. In class, use a page as a quiet art activity after a discussion about festivals in India. Children can work in pairs to make a display with one sentence about Dussehra. You can also place the pages in a festival folder, use them for a storytelling warm-up, or invite children to add patterns to clothes and decorations.

Simple Dussehra facts for children

Dussehra is also called Vijayadashami, and it is observed at the end of Navratri. In many parts of India, the day remembers Ram's victory over Ravan and the triumph of good over evil. Some communities mark the festival with plays, processions or the burning of large Ravan effigies. The way people celebrate differs from place to place. In some regions, the day is linked with Durga's victory over Mahishasura. Share the tradition followed by your family or local community while your child colours.
