Katyayani Devi Story
To destroy the demon Mahishasura, Goddess Parvati took the form of Goddess Katyayani. According to Hindu mythology and beliefs, there existed a demon Mahishasura, whose atrocities created havoc and were assuming gigantic proportions. He even aimed at destroying the earth and the gods (Devtas). All the Gods (Devtas) then prayed to Goddess Durga to save them from him. Goddess Durga then assumed the form of Katyayani, who, equipped with powers and weapons from Gods, confronted the demon. He began changing his forms, one of which was that of a buffalo. Goddess Durga sprang on the back of Mahishasura from Her lion and struck his head and killed him.

जय जय अम्बे जय कात्यायनी। जय जग माता जग की महारानी॥
बैजनाथ स्थान तुम्हारा। वहा वरदाती नाम पुकारा॥
कई नाम है कई धाम है। यह स्थान भी तो सुखधाम है॥
हर मन्दिर में ज्योत तुम्हारी। कही योगेश्वरी महिमा न्यारी॥
हर जगह उत्सव होते रहते। हर मन्दिर में भगत है कहते॥
कत्यानी रक्षक काया की। ग्रंथि काटे मोह माया की॥
झूठे मोह से छुडाने वाली। अपना नाम जपाने वाली॥
बृहस्पतिवार को पूजा करिए। ध्यान कात्यानी का धरिये॥
हर संकट को दूर करेगी। भंडारे भरपूर करेगी॥
जो भी माँ को भक्त पुकारे। कात्यायनी सब कष्ट निवारे॥
