Festivals have a magical way of connecting kids to culture, values, and creativity. Among them, Navratri stands out as a time of devotion, dance, lights, and stories of courage. For children, Navratri becomes even more meaningful when celebrated through art. And what better way to combine devotion and creativity than with a Drawing of Goddess Durga?

In this post, we’ve brought together 10+ beautiful drawings of Goddess Durga, kid-friendly stories, and printable options so your child can celebrate Navratri in the most colorful way.

The Story Behind Goddess Durga: A Kids-Friendly Version

Before we dive into coloring ideas, let’s share a Mahishasurmardini’s story—the reason why Navratri is celebrated.

Long ago, there was a mighty demon named Mahishasura. He was strong and fearless, but also cruel. He troubled gods and innocent people, spreading fear everywhere. No god could defeat him, so they prayed to a powerful force to save them.

That’s when Goddess Durga was created, with the combined powers of all gods. She was fierce, radiant, and strong—holding weapons in her many hands. Riding her lion, she fought Mahishasura bravely for nine days and nights. On the tenth day, she defeated him, bringing peace to the world.

This victory is celebrated as Navratri and Vijayadashami (Dussehra). When children do a drawing of Goddess Durga or enjoy a durga colouring page, they also learn this powerful story of courage and goodness winning over evil.
