Mahishi was a she-buffalo demoness and she is the sister of her deceased brother the Mahishasura. She was killed by the celibate god Ayyappa in Hindu mythology. After her brother was killed by Parvati's aspect as Durga, shape shifting Mahishi sought revenge against her and the gods. Ayyappa was born with powers of Vishnu and Shiva, and he defeated Mahishi.^[1]^[2]
