Devi Mahatmyam Parayanam Chapter - 02 & 03 | Day 02

This episode presents the goddess Mahalakshmi in the avatar of Durga. She is a great Warrior Goddess, representing divine anger and lethal energy against evil. The episode stages a world under attack by a form-shifting Mahishasura, an evil demon who uses deception to disarm his opponents, ultimately taking the form of a buffalo demon. He defeats the male gods individually, who fear total annihilation of the forces of good. They team up, combine their individual strengths, and channel it into Goddess Durga. Riding a lion into battle, Goddess Durga captures and slays the buffalo demon, by cutting off his head. She then destroys the inner essence of the demon when it emerges from the buffalo's severed neck, thereby establishing order in the world.
