However, there are some legends which tells us about the creation of Goddess Durga. When the evil rakshaMahishasura attacked the mankind, the Lords decided to create someone to destroy the same. A dazzle of lighting came out together from the mouth of the trinity( Lord Vishnu, Brahma and Mahesh) and the three amalgamated to form a beautiful idol of Maadurga. She was blessed with various special weapons enfolded in her 10 hands. MaaDurga killed the evil Mahishasur and since then has been worshipped as the destroyer of evil.
