Durga Slaying Buffalo - Durga pierced the throat of the buffalo, and when Mahisa tried to escape from the animal, she cut off his head. The gods were then restored to heaven. The myth of Durga slaying the buffalo-demon may be a northern adaptation of Korravai, the Tamil goddess of the mountains, who was a goddess of war and victory and to whom buffaloes were sacrificed. 固opFoto 固opFoto
