The story of Mata Katyayini goes like this- A great sage named Katya wanted Maa Durga to be born as his daughter. In order to fulfil his wish, he pleased the trinity of Gods – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Pleased with his devotion they blessed him with Goddess Durga, who was named Katyayani after him.
