Once the demon Mahisasura succeeded to please Lord Shiva through his sincere meditation.
As a result, Lord Shiva blessed him with an immortal life. After this incident Mahisasura
turned into his true self and started killing people without a second thought.

Viewing such an atrocity, the Gods went to Lord Shiva and requested him to teach the demon
a lesson. It is then that Lord Shiva used his third eye or trinayan and made a Goddess who
had been endowed with one special power of each of the Gods of the heaven. The Goddess was
given the name of Durga. A lion became her vahana and she went out of the paradise to kill
 Mahisaura. On killing the demon, Gods blessed Devi Durga and started rejoicing
.

to the devotees. Navami comes after ashtami, which is followed by vijaya dashami when the idol
of Goddess Durga is taken to the banks of River Ganges for immersion.

sweets between themselves.
