This Pattachitra depicts the victory of Hindu Goddess Durga over the evil demon Mahishasura which is being celebrated as Dussehra.
Dussehra is one of the most important festivals in Hindu tradition. It is an auspicious occasion and it signifies the victory of good over evil.
The Navaratri festival eulogizes this battle between Mahishasura and Durga, culminating in Vijaya Dasami, a celebration of his ultimate defeat.
