Shubho Mahalaya 2024 wishes, quotes, greetings, WhatsApp status: This year, Mahalaya is celebrated on October 2, as Goddess Durga defeats demon Mahishasura. It marks the end of pitri paksha also known as the fortnight of the forefathers. During these 16 days, the Hindus pay homage to their ancestors. This marks the beginning of Durga Puja for the Bengali community. According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Durga comes to her paternal house, Earth on Mahalaya. As per popular beliefs, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh were the creators of Maa Durga to kill and destroy the demon Mahishasur. The demon was very powerful and neither devatas nor human beings were able to kill him. Devatas staged a tough fight but were lost to the powerful and hideous Asura. The devaloka was ruled by Mahishasur.
Mahalaya marks the day roughly seven days before Durga Puja starts. It is believed that goddess Durga starts the journey from her heavenly abode of Mount Kailash along with her children — Lakshmi, Saraswati, Kartik, Ganesha. Navratri begins from the day after Mahalaya.
