Mahishâsura (IAST: mahiṣāsura, devanagari: महिषासुर) est un démon-buffle de la mythologie hindoue. Il était le produit des amours du roi des asuras Rambha avec une bufflonne (qui était en réalité une princesse victime d'une malédiction) et pouvait prendre aussi bien l'apparence d'un buffle que d'un être humain (mahisha signifie buffle). Il fut tué par la redoutable déesse Durga, manifestation tueuse de démons de Devi. Il a donné son nom à la ville de Mysore. Extrait de l'article de Wikipedia
