Wishing Everyone Subho Mahalaya!

According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Durga visits her parental house in Mahalaya. Maa Durga was created by Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwar to battle Mahisasura, a powerful monster that neither devatas nor mankind were able to handle.

The devatas and Lord Vishnu worshipped Adi Shakti to weaken the Asura in order to protect themselves from Mahisasure, who governed the Devaloka. The conflict between Mahisasura and Goddess Durga lasted about nine days. The goddess Durga vanquished the monster on the tenth day, bringing in Navratri and Durga Puja.
