Legend behind Navarathri
Markandeya
Puran has written details about the legend behind Navarathri. In the purna there is a part where Durga
Saptashathi’s that explains origin and birth of Goddess Shakti and her
victories over the slain of demons.
There
are many legends that explain the significance of Navarathri and one such
legend is the Mahishasur Vadh.
The
legend goes that, Mahishasur did penance in favour of Lord Shiva and being
impressed with the penance Lord Shiva gave the boon that no man or devatas can
kill him.
Pleased
with the boon Mahishasur spread fear and terror in his reign and the three worlds
since no man or devata can hurt or kill him and thought woman can’t fight him.
He mercilessly killed Gandharvas and Rishis who prayed to God.
Not
being able to see the plight of the innocent devatas, Lord Brahma and Lord
Shiva went to Lord Vishnu seeking help. Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma
and other Gods put their spiritual energies together and created the ultimate
woman who can fight him looked radiant and extremely beautiful. As
she was made from the female energies of devas and demigods, she was aptly
named Shakti. The name Durga was given to her after she had killed a demon
named Durg.
Goddess Durga possessed the unique
individual powers of ten deities, which were symbolised by her ten arms, each
of which held different weapons gifted to her by the Gods, like Indra’s Vajra,
Shiva’s Trishul, Vishnu’s Sudarshan chakra, Varun’s conch, Agni’s spear,
Vasuki`s snake.
From Yama, she received an iron rod, a sword and shield. Vishwakarma (God of Architecture) gave her an axe and armor. The God of Mountains, Himavat gifted her with jewels and a lion to ride on. Durga was also given many other precious and magical gifts, new clothing, and a garland of immortal lotuses.
The beautiful Durga, bedecked in jewels and golden armor and equipped with the fearsome weaponry of Gods, was ready to engage in battle with the fierce and cruel Mahishasura. When Mahishasura heard of Durga`s beauty, he wished to marry her and sent across a proposal.
The Goddess replied that she would marry him on the condition that he defeats her in a battle first. Mahishasura and his demon allies found their attention drawn from heaven to Earth.

As Mahishasura`s armies were struck
down effortlessly by Durga. No demon could fight her and win. Her breath would
replenish her armies - bringing back to life all of her soldiers who fell. The
demons were in chaos and were easily defeated and captured.
Mahishasura was enraged yet shocked by the disastrous events on the battlefield. He took on the form of many wild buffalo and tried to charge himself on her by sneaking when Durga drank the nectar from Kuber and pounced on Mahishasura and beheaded him. Thus she came to be called as Mahishasuramardini.

The war went on for nine days and
nine nights and the morning of the tenth day is called Vijayadasami to mark a
day where good won over evil.
