The first day of Durga Puja has started, and this day resembles the first day of the fight between the goddess Durga Maa, and Mahishasura, the shapeshifting buffalo demon. Mahishasura prayed for immortallity and invincibility from the gods, and eventually his wish came true. But he took advantage of it and ended up fooling the gods. The gods realized this and combined their energies and weapons to create Durga Maa. Durga Ma and Mahishasura fought for nine nights and ten days, and on the tenth day, Durga Maa slayed Mahishasura, ending his reign. This is why Durga Puja exists, and is an important symbol in Hinduism.
