It is said that the brother of Queen Devaki, Kansa, had heard a prophecy that her eighth son would be the reason for his death

When Kansa learned of this, he killed each of the six children of Devaki and her husband Vasudev and threw them both in jail

Kansa attempted to kill Krishna, but before he could, Krishna was safely sent out of the dark dungeon

King Vasudeva crossed the Yamuna River with him over his head in a basket and placed him in the care of his friends Yashoda and Nanda in Vrindavan

Vasudev came back carrying their daughter, who was born on the same day, to show her to King Kansa in the hopes that he wouldn't hurt her

However, he flung the baby girl up against a rock. Rather than suffering any injury, she rose to the air taking the form of Goddess Durga and warning him about his death

Once Krishna grew up, he killed Kansa, fulfilled the prophecy and freed the community from Kansa's brutal tyranny
