Talk:Mahishasura

message: I doubt all the green skin thingy and the form of a giant buffalo is cooked up in the TV serials. take a look at the photo of the statue. All the durga, chamundeshwari temples in southern India have this mahishasura statue as far as I've known.

thread_title:  Copy and Paste? 

message: Only the first paragraph seemed relevant in the section about Mahishasura's sister, so I removed the rest. I could not see the connection between her and any of the other information. If anyone would like to go back and edit those paragraphs to incorporate a connection with her, please do so. Mlstillo (talk)mlstillo  —Preceding undated comment added 00:51, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you! There's also some archaic language in here, which leads me to believe that some of this was copied from it. I've tried to modernize some of the text. Kortoso (talk) 18:36, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed a lot of text 

message: Can someone please double check whether Mahishi is the name of Mahishasura's mother or his sister?  Also, is there really a story in Kerala of his sister wanting to avenge his killing by the goddess Durga? --NJ (talk) 18:38, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is Mahishi's entry: Mahishi_(Mahishasur%27s_Sister). Apparently she's his sister. Did you see anyplace where she is his mother? Sometimes myths go both ways. Sorry, but that article is extremely wordy as well. Kortoso (talk) 19:26, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I have found these websites: The New Indian Express, India.com and [Times of India regarding Asur Puja a.k.a. Hudur Durga that can be added to the article, but not sure where to add. It is about the worshipping of the Asur community mourning the death of Mahishasura twice annually. -- 50-Man (talk) 17:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
