Goddess Durga was formed to fight Mahishasura, an evil demon.
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva combined their powers to construct a formidable female warrior with ten arms.
All the gods combined gave Durga a bodily form when she arose as a spirit from the sacred Ganga's waters.
Lord Shiva sculpted her face, while Indra sculpted her torso. Brahma created her teeth. Bhudevi moulded her lower torso, Varuna sculpted her knees, and Agni sculpted the Goddess's eyes.
As a result, she was an ultimate force produced by combining the abilities of all the other gods.
Goddess Durga, also known as 'Mahamaya,' is the Great Mother of the Cosmos, who is responsible for the creation, preservation, and eradication of evil forces throughout the universe.
The gods then bestowed their blessings and weapons on her individually.
The goddess rode into combat on a lion, armed like a warrior. Durga ultimately slew the demon king with her trident after a hard battle.
Heaven and earth celebrated at her victory, and the three worlds were once again in peace. In Sanskrit, the word 'Durga' refers to a fort or a safe and secure location.
Durgatinashini, which means 'the one who removes pain,' is another name for Durga. Her name denotes her function as the protector of her believers and the destroyer of evil in the world.
