Folklore claims that Brahma, Krishna, Mahadev, and the minor gods weren't able to vanquish the buffalo demon Mahishasura, therefore conceived Durga to assist them to destroy him.
She is simultaneously a progeny of the male divine beings and the true wellspring of their strength of character, representing their unity of strength (shakti). She is incomparable to each of them as well. Durga, who'd been conceived gorgeous and fully developed, terrifies her enemies with her menacing appearance.
The magnificent Durga earned a greeting from each of the Hindu divinities. The powerful goddess declared, "Give me your armaments and I shall destroy he who attempts to conquer me." The goddess acquiesced. Shiva handed his trident to Vishnu, who would then give it to Indra, Kurmara, and Brahma.
Vishnu also handed his discus and mace to Indra. Durga then rode a lion and prepared for combat. Mahisha heard about Durga, the gorgeous goddess who resides atop Mount Meru. The buffalo demon stated, "She will be my empress."
He issued a directive to Chanda and Munda, his two commanders, to go find her. The Buffalo Demon's marriage proposal was delivered to Durga by Chanda and Munda. Durga stayed quiet. The great goddess lashed back, wielded her sword, and chopped both commanders' heads. Mahisha was outraged at the vehement denial of his wedding proposal.
In an attempt to seize Durga, 1 million asuras equipped with arrows, darts, swords, and daggers invaded Mount Meru. They proceeded up the slope, and soon 1 million demon heads were visible rolling down Mount Meru and painting its slopes with blood. Blood from the demons was devoured by Durga.
Mahisha, who'd been embarrassed by the loss, asked the goddess about why she wouldn't peacefully marry him. The goddess replied, "I would only marry the person who overcomes me in battle." The buffalo devil responded, "Then we should battle.
A huge battle began. Various weapons were hurled at the buffalo devil, but he proceeded to escape from each confrontation unscathed. The Hindu goddess Durga discarded her weaponry when she realized that Mahisha was unfazed by them.
She immediately jumped off her lion leapt onto Mahisha's shoulders only with her hands. She stepped on his skull with her dainty foot. The contact of Durga's feet left the demon, who was immune to all of the deities' weaponry, comatose. Then, using her trident, Durga struck the buffalo devil in the chest, accomplishing the unimaginable.
The demons tormenting Earth are all slaughtered by Durga with Her powered armaments, while she also liberates the inferior minds from the grip of the demonic forces. She symbolizes Lord Shiva's power in addition to the Fiery power of birth and existence. Holy armaments belonging to Goddess Durga have different metaphorical implications-
★ Despite how powerful an enemy is, they never evade the Lord Shiva's Trishul, which is the primary weapon of the Goddess. Her trident symbolizes the Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas three gunas. Based on the Vedas, it is considered one of the most powerful weaponry.
★ The Sudarshan Chakra symbolizes the goddess' command over the entire universe. She obtained this from Lord Vishnu.
★ Presented to Goddess Durga by the sea god Varuna, the Conch shell represents the divine melody of Om, which is the universe's primordial noise.
★ Both the potential and kinetic powers of Durga are symbolized by the bow and the arrow respectively. It implies that Maa Durga has command over all celestial phenomena.
★ Lord Indra, the Heavenly Lord, handed a lightning bolt with all the capabilities of the ancient Thunderbolt. Durga displays rage and frustration throughout her battle with warring factions, and lightning personifies that rage and wrath.
