The Gods were in a great dilemma as they were facing unending trouble from the demons. One of them, Mahisha, a buffalo, became so powerful that he defeated the Gods and established himself in heaven. The Gods wandered forlornly about the world, until they were advised by Vishnu and Shiva to concentrate their powers to form a jet of fire. From this fire emerged Durga, armed with numerous weapons.

The attributes that can be identified in her hands to the left, are a 'shankha', a shield and a bow, and on her right side she holds an arrow, a khadaga or a short sword and Vishnu's chakra.
