About Goddess Durga
Goddess Durga has a significant following all over India( particularly in its eastern countries). Durga is deified after spring and afterlife crops, particularly during the fests of Durga Puja and Navratri.
The most popular legend associated with the goddess is of her destruction of Mahishasura.
• Mahishasura was a partial- buffalo devil who did severe penance in order to delight Brahma, the creator. After several times, Brahma, satisfied with his devotion, came out before him.
• The demon opened his eyes and asked the god for eternity. Brahma denied it, saying that all must die one day. Mahishasura yet allowed for a bit and asked a boon that only a lady could be suitable to kill him. Brahma granted the boon and faded.
• Mahishasura started to torture, innocent people. He captured heaven and was not in any kind of fear, as he allowed women to be helpless and weak.
• The devas were worried and they went to Trimurti. They all together combined their power and created a warrior woman with many arms.
• Durga reached Mahishasura's palace. Durga destroyed each form of Mahishasura and at last, Durga slayed Mahishasura when he was taking form of buffalo.
