Tentative timeline- How many years before did the fight between Durga and Mahishasura happen?

The fight between Goddess Durga and Mahishasura is traditionally believed to have occurred during the Satya Yuga. 

However, it is essential to understand that the timelines of the yugas are mythological and not aligned with historical records.

Yuga Timeline:

Satya Yuga: This is the first yuga, often said to last for 1,728,000 years.
Current Yuga: We are currently in the Kali Yuga, which is said to have begun around 3102 BCE and will last for 432,000 years.

Estimation of Years:
Duration of Yugas:
If we assume that the events of Durga's battle with Mahishasura occurred toward the end of the Satya Yuga, it could be estimated around 1,700,000 years ago (approximately).

Calculation:
Years since the end of Satya Yuga:
1,728,000 years (total duration of Satya Yuga) - 3102 years (current date) ≈ 1,724,898 years ago.
 

Conclusion:
Thus, according to mythological accounts, the battle between Durga and Mahishasura is said to have happened approximately 1.7 million years ago. However, these figures are symbolic and part of the Hindu cosmological framework rather than historical fact.
