Devi Katyayani News
On Day 6, devotees offer prayers to Maa Katyayani. She is the second name of Goddess Parvati, Adi Parashakti or Amarakosha, as per the Sanskrit lexicon. She is also hailed as the fierce avatar of Maa Durga as per some beliefs.
The legend of Mahishasur and how the goddess killed him is the most popular one associated with the origin of Maa Katyayani, who put an end to evil and helped the gods from the clutches of this demon.
Devi Katyayani is associated with the red colour, similar to Maa Durga.
The epitome of love and anger, the idols of Katyayani are portrayed with four arms and three eyes, and mounted on a lion.
