Maa Katyani 🙏

 On sixth day Maa Katyani is worshipped. Odisha and Srikhetra( Puri Jagannath temple) is believed to be the place of Maa Katyani. 

She is the most fierce form of Maa. As per Vamana Purana she appeared when deities prayed to Vishnu to save them from Mahisasura. The anger of Vishnu, Shiva and Bhrama merged together to originate this Devi, who had long hairs, 3 eyes and 18 hands.  She rides a lion and gets the weapons from each god. She then comes to Mysore and fights with Mahisasura. Mahisasura takes up the form of a Buffalo and fights with Devi. 

Kleem Shree Trinetraye Namah!!!
