Surprisingly the one name by which MAA is never called in Devi Mahatmyam is Lalitha. Maa Lalitha Tripurasundari vanquished Bandasura. That is a separate Upa-Purana. My grand mother used to recite Lalithambal Shobanam during Navaratri.

Again the people of North India have changed Simha Vahini into a rider of Tiger, Because they use the term Simha for both Lion and Tiger in Hindi and associated languages. Devi is not described in any of the scriptures as riding a Tiger. Even in Vaishno Devi the Big Murthi in front of the cave shows her only on a Lion.

This Navaratri is not celebrated in North India. They celebrate Vasantha Navaratri.

Jai MAA !!!
