Mahishasura

Mahishasura is a mythical buffalo demon from Hindu mythology, symbolizing chaos and ignorance. According to legends, he was a powerful shape-shifter who could assume both human and buffalo forms, making him difficult to defeat. The goddess Durga was created to combat him, embodying strength, courage, and divine energy. After a fierce battle, Durga vanquished Mahishasura, restoring balance and order. The story highlights the victory of good over evil, emphasizing the power of divine feminine energy and righteousness in overcoming darkness. Mahishasura's tale is celebrated during festivals like Durga Puja in many parts of India.
