[conch blows]
[bull grunts]
[song playing]
You!
Mother.
'The Goddess is fighting Mahishasur to teach him a lesson on women.'
'This lesson is for everyone in this world.'
'A woman is a symbol of affection.'
'She is not weak.'
No, it's not possible.
What's happening to me?
No.
Mother.
You were dead.
Then...
Mother!
[dazzling]
So, it's your illusion.
You want to kill me.
Only cowards attack an unarmed person, Mahishasur.
A woman is not a coward.
She wants justice.
She doesn't want to take revenge.
She just wants to punish evil.
[music playing]
Pick up the sword, Mahishasur.
Get ready to pay for your sins.
[conch blows]
[swooshing]
[music playing]
[clanging]
[song playing]
[clanging]
Goddess Katyayani has proven that
she is the embodiment of Shakti.
Every woman has a part of her.
Now, Mahishasur will learn
that he was insulting the wrong person.
[clanging]
[thudding]
[song playing]
[clanging]
[grunts]
Woman! Stop!
Forgive me.
Forgive me, Goddess.
Forgive me.
If you would've regretted it earlier
then you wouldn't be in this state, Mahishasur.
But, you were so blinded by your arrogance
that you didn't pay heed to your teacher's advice.
It's too late now.
Your sins are not worth forgiving.
No, stop!
[laughs]
[music playing]
You can't kill me.
Lord Brahma has granted me a boon.
Nobody can kill me.
Nobody can kill Mahishasur. [laughs]
You chose your death.
Remember?
What were your words while asking for a boon?
'No god'
'demi-god, celestial being, eunuch'
'animal or bird'
'or men of any race'
'can kill me.'
Today, you're pleading for mercy fearing death.
But forgiving sinners like you
is an injustice to the rest of my children.
And I can't do injustice to them.
I will kill you.
[grunts]
[song playing]
Mahishasur is dead.
The one who terrorised the world
has been killed by the Goddess.
The embodiment of Shakti.
Keeper of justice! Destroyer of evil!
- To Goddess Katyayani! - Praise be to her!
[music playing]
'Calm down, Goddess.'
[music playing]
Goddess!
You questioned me a while ago
about your identity.
Today, not only me
but everybody
in this universe knows your identity.
You have proven
that you're the mother of this universe.
You're the embodiment of Shakti.
Your capability
is beyond anybody's imagination.
[song playing]
[music playing]
It is my job to preserve the creation, Goddess.
But you've made it easy for me.
I'm grateful!
Because of my boon
the universe had to go through such a difficult time.
Today, you destroyed this evil
and reinvigorated this creation.
I'm truly grateful to you.
Thank you!
Goddess.
Under this tyrant's rule, Swargaloka was crying for help.
You freed us.
My wife, Shachi
and other women have been saved from this evil demon.
I'm grateful to you, Goddess.
[music playing]
Goddess.
Hereafter, the world will also know you as
someone
who slayed Mahishasur.
Mahishasur Mardini.
- To Mahishasur Mardini! - Praise be to her!
[music playing]
[grunts]
[screams]
[music playing]
Those who worship this form
will always find a solution to their problems.
This reincarnation
will instil fear in the mind of sinners and tyrants.
It will make my devotees fearless.
This is my blessing.
[music playing]
Goddess, the motive of your reincarnation
is complete now.
And
seeing this form
has made me fall more in love with you.
[music playing]
If you agree
then I want to
accept this form of yours with proper rituals.
[music playing]
[song playing]
[music playing]
Now, please return with us to Kailash.
Kailash doesn't feel homely without your presence.
[music playing]
You're aware
that my worship is incomplete without you.
Yes, Mother. Come back.
Your son, Nandi, Shringi
and others miss you.
Even I miss Kailash and its people, Ganesh.
Anyway
a woman doesn't have to choose between her family and the world.
If a woman wants
then she can fulfil both
indoor and outdoor duties
if her family loves and supports her.
[music playing]
On the seventh day of Navratri
we worship the Goddess' reincarnation as Kalaratri.
Kalaratri.
She controls time.
So, time and death.
In this form, the Goddess wants to teach the world
that a woman who is determined, devoted and perseverent
can save her family from problems.
Whether it is a bad time or death.
Kalaratri
[song playing]
Kalaratri who appears fearsome
is always auspicious.
That's why she's also called Goddess Shubhankari.
'Father.'
'Son? My son?'
'I felt as if'
'my son called out to me.'
[music playing]
'Are they wondering about their son's return?'
'If he returns, then my plan will be wasted.'
What happened?
Why are you staring at each other?
I felt as if
my son called out to me.
Even I'm thinking about his face.
I feel as if
he's near us.
This is a good sign.
Maybe your intuition is right.
And he might return before Navratri is over.
[music playing]
Your words can't always come true.
It's been so many years since your son left.
He would've forgotten his way back home.
[music playing]
Why is she looking at me so angrily?
[screams]
'[gasps] And'
'why do I see the Goddess' rage in her?'
This story would've taught you
that the Goddess can make anything come true.
Continue worshipping with the same devotion
and I'm sure
that if the Goddess is pleased
then your wish shall come true.
Let's arrange for food.
[music playing]
[song playing]
'O, Goddess. - O Goddess.'
'Goddess, thank you for visiting us.'
[song playing]
'Return our son to us, Goddess.'
'Please be merciful and return our son to us, Goddess.'
'I wonder what state he must be in.'
