The 9 day festival of navratri comes to an end with day 10 today symbolizing victory over evil, this festival celebrates goddess Durga in her 9 forms slaying the demon Mahishasura. Here’s the significance:
Goddess Durga, who is a representation of the Divine Feminine, protects mankind from evil and misery by destroying evil forces within humans such as selfishness, jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, and ego.
The buffalo demon Mahishasura represents the forces of ego, ignorance and chaos that are hidden by our appearances. He is often depicted as half-man and half-buffalo, which symbolizes the bestial nature in humans
