Celebrate the annual Hindu festival of Durga Puja :

when the devout worship the goddess Durga......

Enjoy this Slide show :

as we conclude the 3rd part of Navratri .. 

The festival marks the victory of the goddess Durga over Mahisasur :

the evil buffalo demon  :angry:

Most Durga statues show the goddess with the vanquished demon at her feet.

The goddess is always shown astride her carrier, a lion :

while killing the demon.!!
