Durga Puja which begins from sixth day of Navratri is not just a festival of four days, its preparation begins months in advance. The festival which marks the victory of good over evil is celebrated in West Bengal, Jharkhand, Tripura, Bihar, Assam and Odisha. People celebrate the victory of Goddess Durga over buffalo demon Mahishasura. According to Hindu mythology, Mahishasura pleased Lord Brahma with his tough penance and asked him the boon of immortality. Lord Brahma granted him the wish but said that he will be killed by a woman. The demon laughed it off and began wreaking havoc on earth. Troubled by Mahishasura, the trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva together created Goddess Shakti. Finally, the Goddess who is the epitome of power killed the demon, thus saving people.
