The beautiful Madhubani painting depicts Goddess Durga in nine different forms. She is worshipped as the form of "Shakti" power. The evolution of Shri Maha Saraswati, Shri Maha Laxmi and Shri Mahakali (the 3 main forms of "Shakti") took place from Shri Brahma, Shri Vishnu and Shri Mahesh respectively. Each of these 3 deities gave rise to 3 more forms and hence in all, these 9 forms together are known as Nav-Durga. Durga is a composite goddess who incorporates different elements of many Gods and local Goddesses. Legend has it that once when all the gods had been kicked out of heaven by the evil demon Mahisha, the form of a buffalo. The gods turned to Shiva, who advised all of the gods to concentrate and release their shaktis that formed into the goddess Durga, the Invincible One, who had 10 arms and had a tiger as her vehicle. The gods armed her with their weapons and she went off to battle with Mahisha. While stunning in her beauty, the demon armies had no time to admire her radiance, as she attacked them on the battlefield. Army after army fought against her, and each army was destroyed during a massive battle. Troops on all sides swarmed into battle, and hordes of infantry wielding axes and spears attacked the goddess. Squadrons of demon-archers and thousands of charioteers and a cavalry of horses and elephants charged at her. Wielding her divine weapons, so many demons and elephants and horses were killed that a river of blood flowed across the battlefield. The ground was left littered with the broken limbs and body parts of the defeated demon army.
