Legend of Durga’s penance

As legend says, Durga sat on the tip of a needle for nine days in order to do penance to aid her in destroying the evil demon Mahisha. She meditated as herself on the first three days and then as Lakshmi and Saraswati for the next six days. This is the progression from tamsik to rajasik to satvik and eventually leads to salvation. On the tenth day the victory of the Goddess over the demon is celebrated in the form of Vijayadashami. According to the Devi Bhagavatam the Durga Saptshati Paath is done during this time along with fasting.
