What is the spiritual story behind Navratri 2025 and the victory of Goddess Durga?

The spiritual story is about the battle between Goddess Durga and the demon Mahishasura. Mahishasura had received a boon that no man or god could defeat him. To end his tyranny, the gods combined their powers and created Goddess Durga. The battle continued for nine days and nights. On the tenth day, Maa Durga killed Mahishasura. This victory symbolizes the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and devotion over arrogance. Navratri celebrates this divine story every year.
