Celebrating the ultimate triumph of good over evil, the Devi Mahatmyam is an epic poem to the Divine Mother, a song of praise that echoes through the ages. Nearly 1500 years after its creation, the Devi Mahatmyam remains a firm favourite among millions of people across the world, of equal cultural significance within Indian Sanskrit literature to the Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata and the Ramayana, and forms the focus of much of the devotion taking place during the Indian festival of Navaratri (from 17-25 October 2020).
