Explanation

During Dasara/Dussehra, Goddess Durga and other female deities (devis) are worshipped, particularly in the eastern and southern states of India. The festival celebrates the victory of Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura. Hanuman is worshipped separately (on Hanuman Jayanti), while devas (gods) and asuras (demons) are not the focus of Dasara worship.
