Tale of Durgamudu a Rakshasha King: Durgamudu prayed a long Brahma a long with (many years) with stringent conditions. The Brahma who is satisfied with his pooja’s and prayers asked Durgamudu, Why he is praying since long time. What he need from him? After saying Brahma before him Durgam praised Lord Brahma and asked him to give four Vedas to him. Brahma says ok and gave Vedas to him.

            Durgamudu feels of proud of his gifts given by Brahma and he used to torture the Brahmins, Rishis, even gods. The harassed & tortured victims went to kailasam where Shiva Parvathi’s were residing. After hearing the victims tortures Maa Godesses Parvathi or Aadi Parashakti came for their rescue. Then Godesses Aadi Para Shakti took ininincarnation of Durga Maata & fight with the Durgamudu nearly 11 days and killed him.

         Then all sections of people in the world offers pooja’s to the Durga Maata and Celebrated festivals with joy. The day which killed Durgamudu is called Durgashtami, the next day the maa offered pooja’s to the swords, Dalls, Arrows and other deadly weapons, which killed Durgamudu is celebrating Maharnavami and the next day is celebrating the “Vijaya Dashami”.
