Origin of Navratri and Vijayadashami

There are different stories that tell us the origin of Navratris. And these stories vary from region to region. In north India the story runs that Goddess Durga was created as a divine female warrior by the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Goddess Durga was created to end the atrocities of Mahishasura, who was harassing and killing the innocent people in quest to win over the three lokas. Mahishasura fell in love with Goddess Durga?s beauty and wished to marry her. But the Goddess set forth a condition that Mahishasura will have to win over a battle with the Goddess to marry her. Although Mahishasura agreed to fight, yet he never knew that he would be defeated at the hands of the Goddess. The battle continued for nine nights and on the end of 9th night, Goddess Durga beheaded Mahishasura. These nine nights came to be known as Navratri. And the tenth day is celebrated as the Vijaya Dashami, the triumph of good over the evil.

The other story related to the origin of Navrati?s is connected with Ramayana. Here it is said that Lord Rama worshipped Goddess Durga in nine aspects and for nine days in order to gather and gain strength and power so that He could kill Ravana. These nine nights came to be known as Navratri and on the 10th day i.e. on Vijayadashami, there was the win of good (Lord Rama) over the evil (Ravana). Thus, Vijaya Dashami is the festival of joy and happiness that unites people from all the sections of the society.
