Navratri story :
There are two well-known stories behind Navratri
In Ramayana, it is said that when Lord Rama was preparing to go in a battle against Ravana he worshiped Devi Adi Shakti or Ma Durga. As Ravana was a great warrior so Rama wanted to seek the blessings of Mother Goddess before going to battle. But it wasn't the right time for Devi's worship. At that time Devi was been worshiped in time of Spring. Lord Rama invokes mother Goddess before time so it's called ‘Akal Bodhan’ or invoking Devi at the wrong time. But later it became famous as Sharad Navratri or Navratri celebrated at the time of Sharat. After getting the blessing of Mother Goddess he battled with Ravana and killed in a day of Dussehra.
There is another story. It is said that once upon a time there was an A Asura king called Mahishasur who threw Devta’s out of their residence ‘Swarga’ and also started tortured people of earth. The Asura had a boon from Lord Brahma that he can not be defeated by any male so all God and devotees went invoking Devi Adi Shakti to rescue them from this demon. She fought with Buffalo demon Mahishasur for nine long days and finally killed him at Navami night. This form of Devi is known as ‘Mahishasura Mardini’ means the annihilator of Mahishasur.
