Untangling the pocket temples...

Each year, for nine nights, India honours Goddess Durga. The story behind it is one of the great narratives of courage.
The demon and the boon
As the tradition is told, the demon Mahishasura, the buffalo-demon, had received a boon that made him nearly invincible, and used his power to torment the gods and the world. The devas, unable to defeat him, combined their energies — and from that radiance appeared Durga, armed with the weapons of all the gods and riding a lion.
The battle
She fought him through nine days and nights as he kept changing his form, and on the tenth day she defeated him. These nine nights are Navratri, and the tenth is Vijayadashami (Dussehra), the day of victory. In Bengal and across eastern India, the same story is celebrated as Durga Puja.
What it teaches
Durga is shown as the Shakti of every god combined. The story tells us that courage and righteousness, gathered together, can defeat even a seemingly unbeatable wrong.
Bring her home
Our brass Durga Ma idols are handcrafted in two sizes, 4 inch and 2 inch, and are lightweight and finely detailed — suited to the mandir, a desk or a car. Our Durga Mata Pan Photo Frame, in a polished silver finish, is a lovely and affordable Navratri gift.
