The term "Kojagari" comes from Sanskrit "Ko Jagorti," meaning "Who is awake?" On Kojagari Lakshmi Puja, Goddess Lakshmi comes from heaven to bless people. She visits every home to offer her blessings. If a house's door is closed, Lakshmi does not enter and leaves without blessing. This is why there is a tradition of staying awake during the night of the puja. Worshipping Lakshmi while staying awake all night is a special part of this celebration.

The fight between Goddess Durga and Mahishasura is traditionally believed to have occurred during the Satya Yuga .  However, it is essential to understand that the timelines of the yugas are mythological and not aligned with historical records. Yuga Timeline: Satya Yuga : This is the first yuga, often said to last for 1,728,000 years.

The devas sought help from Lord Brahma, who revealed that Mahishasura had a boon making him invincible to any male god; only a goddess could defeat him. Mahishasura believed no woman had the power to challenge him. Lord Brahma advised the devas to consult Lord Vishnu, who was with Lord Shiva at Kailash. Upon learning of the situation, Vishnu and Shiva, along with the devas, combined their powers to invoke Maa Adishakti. Maa Adishakti appeared as Maa Durga (Chandika), and the devas offered her their divine weapons: Sword (Khadga) : Given by Saraswati, this weapon represents knowledge and wisdom Bow and arrow (Dhanush and Ban) : Given by Vishnu, these weapons symbolize the need for focus and intention to overcome challenges Shield   (Trishul) : Given by Varuna, the god of water, this weapon represents protection against external threats Mace (Gada) : Given by Hanuman, this weapon represents stren
