Durga Puja
Maa Durga rides a lion. She holds eighteen weapons in her many arms. Each weapon is a gift from a different god. Her gaze is the gaze of a mother who will let nothing harm her children. The demon Mahishasura had a boon. No man, no god could kill him. He defeated even Indra. The gods released their combined energies. From that fire, Maa Durga emerged. After nine days of battle, on the tenth day, she slew Mahishasura. That day is Vijayadashami.
