Navratri Shashti (M) MIX
As Goddess Katyayani, the goddess takes a divine form to destroy all evil forces of the universe. In this form, she slays the demon Mahishasura. Her name comes from the sage Katyayan, in whose ashram she resided to do penance. She is invoked with prayers to put an end to all our inner turmoil. Her vehicle is a lion, and she has three eyes and four arms – two in gestures of defending and granting and the others holding lotuses.
