बरसे फूल, और धरती पड़ी झूम, जब महिषासुर का वध कर चुकीं जगदम्बा।
The gods fought for a hundred years, but lost, and then they put their heads together to find a solution. All the gods summoned their radiance and focused it all together to create the Goddess. This is the story of Goddess Durga‘s creation, her preparation, and then her destruction of the forces of evil.
