Actually I was thinking if makers are actually going by durga Mahishasur story..

First he takes the roop of a handsome man and tries to woo durga.. she attacks him back and asks him to stay away because she is already married to Shiva who is the ultimate man... so yeah someone predicting MJ trying his old ways is possible..


Second he comes back as a lion and attacks her lion which she is sitting on.. so her lion that she is riding on is her relationship with Rudra.. that's what brought her to the Roy mansion.. and she attacks back with snakes.. here it could be Rudra trust and promises which will become the return attack.. considering snakes belong to Shiva and he wears one in his neck..

Just my time pass thoughts today 😳

Can ppl with mythology knowledge please let me know if I am right

If we go by the Durga Mahishasur story also, then there are several versions to consider.

Some versions show that Parvati had to assume Durga form because Mahishasur wanted to attack her child Kartikeya. And Shiva did not intervene, as he knew that his wife is capable enough to handle him. In that context, Mrityunjay may threaten Maya's child again, and then she kills him.

Some versions say that she is 'Dashabhuja', so every devta offered their most powerful weapon to vanquish Mahishasur. But in Maya's context, who will offer her or who will be her weapon to conquer Mrityunjay, we don't know. Right now she is only on defense, not offense.

Some versions say that Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh combined their three prime weapons - Brahmastra, Trishul and Sudarshan chakra and offered it to Durga which she then used to kill Mahishasur. So in Maya's case, will there be such a thing? Mahesh is Rudra, Vishnu maybe Rajiv, then who is Brahma?

But essentially the story stands at Mahishasur was enamored by Parvati's beauty and power. He wanted to possess her, but she refused him and then they fought each other, and Durga became Mahishasur mardini. So if we go by this basic story, I believe Mrityunjay may initially try with threats and manhandling, but Maya may not give in. Then Maya may show all her shades of darkness which may??? attract Mrityunjay towards her again, as she is a challenge he may want to win over for himself. But Maya then too will not give in and would stick with Rudra no matter what, which will cause Mrityunjay to slowly unravel and bring out the beast (Mahish) within him and then Maya would kill him. But before that, she needs to show him what Maya is capable of and break through the defenses of those 7 people who safeguard him. So let's see, how this story takes shape.

Maya's pregnancy will be a turning point, that is if CV's have it in mind.


Not only because everything is going to come a full circle for maya, but because it will stop her in her tracks. This May happen after Rudra find outs the truth, and they are at odds.

I felt the show was following the Durga-Mahisasur story after MayRa got married. I think MJ will initially try to manhandle her but seeing her firm resolve, he will try to lure her and as Durga had lashed out at Mahisasur for daring to woo a married woman, Maya will lash out too. And then MJ will be in beast mode and Maya will finish him off.

I agree with the others, Maya will get pregnant and the baby will be another turning point.

See the version I know is the God's requested Parvati to help and the goddess took the virgin avatar which was a pale shadow of her.Gods gave her ornaments dresses and powers. So the goddess carried the power of the universe with her. And when mahisasur saw her he was enamoured by her beauty and proposed her.she told she will marry him if he can defeat her. The war started.Goddess fought nine days and nine nights and killed him and we celebrate navrathri as the victory of feminine power over man ego.10th day or vijayadashami is seeing the goddess in victorious form and in Kerala it is considered auspicious to start vidyaarambham for kids as that day the knowledge wins. Prakriti put a full stop to purush ego. But there are many versions. What I said what I hav heard from my grandma ma and all abt navrathri.in Maya case it has to be navdurga nine ppl or nine stages of her battle. It's this kanyavatar of goddess that's worshipped in kanyakumari in south and as vaishno devi in north. So consummation of mayra marriage will take time if they go by the theory of virgin goddess.

Yh you are right there are many versions.

As per Bengali literature, Maa Durga killed Mahisasur on 8th day. It's called Maha Astami. The Vijay Dashami is celebrated for Lord Rams victory on Ravan.

Before starting the journey to Sri Lanka, Ram had invoked Durga to seek her blessings for his victory. On 10th day Ram killed Ravan.

Shruti I read somewhere that Mahishasur took different forms and appeared in front of durga and she defeated each form until he came in the form of a buffalo which is his real form and then she killed him in the end..

The forms being firstly a handsome man to woo her then lion then many others.. so going by that I was saying..

Yes namuvyas he came in different form and goddess has to defeat each.here Maya has to end the image of mj.the various masks he wears in front of society which she can do only after taking down his support systems. So now story has to move to thriller.
