Story of Chandraghanta

Once there was a long war between Mahishasura, the lord of the demons, and Indra, the lord of the gods. Mahishasura conquered the gods took the throne of Indra and started ruling heaven. Seeing this, all the gods got worried and to know the solution to this problem, all the gods went to the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh.

The gods said that Mahishasura had taken away all the rights of Indra, Moon, Surya, Vayu, and other gods and had taken them hostage and become the king of heaven himself. The gods said that due to the atrocities of Mahishasura, now the gods are roaming on the earth. Hearing this, Brahma, Vishnu, and Lord Shankar became extremely angry. Due to anger, energy was generated from the mouths of all three. The energy emanating from the bodies of the gods also got mixed with that energy. It started spreading in ten directions.

Then a goddess appeared there. Lord Shankar gave the trident to the goddess and Lord Vishnu gave the chakra. Similarly, other gods and goddesses also placed weapons in the hands of the Mother Goddess. Indra also descended from his thunderbolt and elephant Airavat and gave one hour. Surya gave his glory and sword and gave him a lion to ride.

The goddess was now fully prepared for the war with Mahishasura. Seeing his giant form, Mahishasura understood that his time had now come. Mahishasura asked his army to attack the goddess. Other demons and groups of demons also jumped into the battle. The goddess killed the demons in one stroke. In this war, Mahishasura was not only killed, but the mother also killed other big demons and demons. In this way, the mother protected all the gods from the demons.
