Tripura Bhairavi Jayanti

Tripura Bhairavi is the sixth amongst the ten Mahavidyas. She is an extremely important incarnation of the Adi Shakti, or one of the earliest forms of Goddess Shakti.

Long ago Narada had shared this story and the source of this legend is the Narada Panchatantra. Goddess Kali had decided to revert to her original form and had disappeared. Lord Shiva being unable to find her asked Narada to look for her. Narada informed Lord Shiva that she can be found in the north of Smairu. Immediately Lord Shiva sent Narada to Kali with the proposal of a marriage. Hearing this marriage proposal, Goddess Kali got so infuriated that a destructive shadow appeared from her body, which came to be known as Tripura Sundari.
