History of Durga Festival
Shardiya Durga Puja is called "premature ejaculation". According to the Kalika Puranas and the Vriddhama Puranas, Durga was worshiped in the autumn during the battle of Rama and Ravana. According to Hinduism, the gods sleep in the autumn. So this time is not the right time to worship them. According to these two myths, according to these two myths, Brahma used to know and worship the Durga, to help Ram. Krittibas Ojha writes in his Ramayana that Rama himself felt and worshiped Durga.
However, the actual author of the Ramayana, Balmiki Muni, did not mention any Ramachandra Durga Puja in the Ramayana. In addition there is no mention of it in other translations of Ramayana. However, according to the prevailing information, Durga Puja has been provided in autumn in the monuments. According to Haksnarayan Bhattacharya, "... premature ejaculation is nothing more than the modern implementation of Vedic sacrifice."

প্রথমে পূজিতা সা চ কৃষ্ণেন পরমাত্মনা।
বৃন্দাবনে চ সৃষ্ট্যাদ্যৌ গোলকে রাগমণ্ডলে।
মধুকৈটভভীতেন ব্রহ্মণা সা দ্বিতীয়তঃ।
ত্রিপুরপ্রেষিতেনৈব তৃতীয়ে ত্রিপুরারিণা।।
ভ্রষ্টশ্রিয়া মহেন্দ্রেন শাপাদ্দুর্বাসসঃ পুরা। চ
তুর্থে পূজিতা দেবী ভক্ত্যা ভগবতী সতী।।
তদা মুনীন্দ্রৈঃ সিদ্ধেন্দ্রৈর্দেবৈশ্চ মুনিমানবৈঃ।
পূজিতা সর্ববিশ্বেষু বভূব সর্ব্বতঃ সদা।।

They both became extremely angry at hearing the story of Mahishasur's persecution.
And their faces were filled with wrath. First a great deed came from the mouths of Vishnu and later Shiva and Brahma. At that time Indrady also came out of the body of other deities with great light emitting with the Mahatma. The great Tejpunj gathered at the ashram of the Rishi Katayana in the high-altitude Himalayas and took on a woman statue. The goddess Katiyani was named as she appeared at the Katyayan monastery. Other sources suggest that the goddess Katyayani appeared in the Krishna Chaturdashi Tithi of the month of Ashwin; Shukla worshiped Katayana Devi in the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries, and on the tenth, the goddess Mahisasur was killed.
However, under the influence of one God, one part of the Goddess was born. Each deity donated their weapons or weapons to the goddess. The Himalayan goddess donated her lion. This goddess is the eighteenth king who went on the slaughter of Mahisasura as Mahalakshmi (According to Sri Sri Chandi, Mahalakshmi killed the goddess Maheshsura. This is Durga. Tribune trembled at the throne of the goddess and her vehicle.
Terrified at that tremor, Mahisasur began to send the brave warriors of his army first. The goddess and her lion, fighting with mighty power, destroyed each of the warriors and the Assyrians. Then Mahishasu himself started fighting the goddess. During the war, magical magishas engaged in various forms in an attempt to intimidate or seduce the goddess; But the goddess failed those efforts. Then the devil roared with great pride.
The goddess said- "Hey, stupid, you roar as long as I drink honey. If I kill you, the gods will roar here soon."
With this, the goddess climbed on Mahisasur with a leap, and with her feet on her voice, she broke the breast and killed her. The Asura's army fled to shout, and the gods returned to heaven and began to shout.
The story of Shumbha-Nishumbha
The third and final story about the goddess Durga, described in the Devimahatam, is the story of the Shumah-Nishumbha slaughter. The answer is given in the fifth or eleventh chapter of the book, in the third part of the book. To us is a sacrament of holiness and daily recitation; Matrrupena sansthita "and similar mantras in this thanksgiving). At that time, when Parvati appeared at the Gangasnan, Adyadevi Indrady became enlightened at the stage of the deity and was released from his body. This goddess became known as Kaushiki and assumed the responsibility of killing the nemesis. Upon seeing him, Cham Chand and Munda of Shumbhal-Nishumbh told their lord that such a woman deserved to be yours. In the words of Chanda-Mund, the noble-minded Mahasur sent Sugriv to the goddess, engaged in treason. Sugriva sweetly expressed the misery of Shumbha-Nishumbha to the goddess. The goddess laughed softly and said, "You are right. Who is the hero of this world? However, I had previously promised that I would marry only the one who could defeat me in battle. Now how do I violate the promise! You say instead of Mahasu, or Nishumbh, that they should come here and defeat me, and take my wings soon. And what is needed immediately? " Sugriva became enraged and advised the goddess to desist. But the goddess settled her and sent her to Shumbha-Nishumbh.Devastated by the words of the goddess, the demon king Shumbh sent Dhamlaochalan to the demon commander to teach him. The goddess had a terrible battle with smokes, and in that battle smokers were defeated and killed. On hearing this news, Shubham sent Chanda-Mund and other Assyrians. The goddess created the goddess Kali from her body to fight them. Chamunda killed Chand-Mund after a fierce battle. Goddess Durga then named her as Chamunda.
Upon receiving the news of Chand-Mund's death, all the demons were equipped and sent against the goddess. Then he came to the battlefield, taking the form of the power of every god of his assistance. These goddesses are Brahmani, Maheshwari, Kumari, Vaishnavi, Barahi, Narsinghi, Indri. They defeated and killed the demons in a fierce battle. This time the bloodbath giant appeared on the battlefield. When his blood falls to the ground, millions of bloodborne monsters are created. For this reason, Durga killed the blood seed with the help of Kali. Kali drank the blood of herbivores without falling to the ground.
Then Shumbha sent his brother Nisumov to war. After the fierce battle, the goddess Durga killed Nishumbha.
Grieving the death of her brother, Shumbha told the goddess, "Do not be proud, for you have won this battle with the help of others." The goddess said-"-I'm the only one living in this world. Who is there other than me? Wicked, all these goddesses are my idol. See, they are dissolving in my body."
Then all the other goddesses joined the castle body. The solemn battle of Goddess began with Devi. In the course of the battle, the goddess killed Shumbha on a cross. The gods regained the right to heaven again.
