According to Hindu mythology, there was a sage named Kat whose son Sage Katyayana performed a hard penance of Maa Bhagvati to get Maa Durga born to him in the form of daughter. The Goddess acceded to his request and was born as the daughter of Sage Katyayana of Katyayana clan. She took birth in Katyayan’s ashram to protect the sages and devas from the demons and devils. Meanwhile, Mahishasura had reached heaven to overthrow the Gods from their abode. The trinity of Gods – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, created the Goddess Durga who was an aggregate of the powers of all the deities. Sage Katyayana had the first privilege to worship her, so she was also named Katyayani after him.

Sage Katyayan wished Maa Durga to take birth in his ashram in the form of his daughter. The goddess acceded to his request and took birth to him on Dakshin Krishna Chaturdashi. Katyayana worshiped her for three days on Shukla Saptami, Ashtami and Navami. On the tenth day i.e on Vijadashami she killed Mahishasura and freed all the gods from his atrocities.
