Product Description

In Hinduism, the goddess Durga, is the "the inaccessible" or "the invincible", or Maa Durga (Mother Durga) "one who can redeem in situations of utmost distress". Durga is a form of Devi, the supremely radiant goddess, depicted as having ten arms, riding a lion or a tiger, carrying weapons (including a Lotus flower), maintaining a meditative smile, and practicing mudras, or symbolic hand gestures. An embodiment of creative feminine force (Shakti), Durga exists in a state of svatantrya (dependence on the universe and nothing/nobody else, i.e., self-sufficiency) and fierce compassion. Durga is considered by Hindus to be an aspect of Kali, and the mother of Ganesha, and Kartikeya. She is thus considered the fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva's wife, goddess Parvati. Durga manifests fearlessness and patience, and never loses her sense of humor, even during spiritual battles of epic proportion.

This review is from: Hindu Goddess Durga Figurine Sitting on Lion (Kitchen)

Durga is revered not only by human but by gods too who she supercedes in power. Twice a year (April and October) for ten day each, devotees worship her with special prayers. Her benediction brings peace, calm an inner strength.
