Dasara, also called "Navaratri", is among the most important festivals celebrated in India. Unlike Dussera, this is celebrated for 10 days in Southern parts.
The Festival of Dasara is celebrated on the occasion of Navaratri. Celebrations are unique ranging from worshipping goddess Chamundeshwari (Durga) to exhibiting colorful toys on the day of 'bombe habba' in Kannada or 'Bommala Koluvu' in Telugu.

The festival falls in the navratri season which is 9 days. On the 10th day, which is dasara (dushhera) also means 10th (dus), indians celebrate the fall of ravana a.k.a lankeswar by burning an effigy. Hope this helps.
