The mighty protector
of Deva (gods), humans, and all other living beings of the Universe, Devi Durga
appears in this majestic brass statue with a tranquil aura, sitting in the
auspicious Lalitasana on her mount lion, in a powerful Ashtabhuja or eight-armed
roopa, which the goddess takes to fight off the forces of evil. A beautiful
Shirasachakra behind her royal crown marks the goddess’s aura, which is
beautified by lovely ornaments and an ornately delineated saree.
The roundly sculpted statue of goddess
Durga
is placed on an ovular lotus pedestal, to separate Devi’s sacred space from the
rest of the world. Smiling benevolently, with a lotus in one hand and the other
raised in the gesture of removing fears, Devi Durga in this roopa is
Durgatinashini- the annihilator of negativity.
The Divine Mother: Durga
Durga, the radiant goddess, is a central figure in the Hindu pantheon, revered as the embodiment of feminine power and the destroyer of evil. More than just a deity, she is the ultimate protector, a fierce warrior who embodies both strength and compassion. Her presence is invoked during times of distress, as devotees seek her blessings for courage, protection, and victory over negativity. Worshipping Durga is said to bestow inner strength, removing obstacles and paving the way for success in all endeavors. She is a symbol of hope, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, goodness will ultimately triumph.A Symbol of Power and Grace
Crafted from brass, this representation of Durga captures her majestic presence. Seated regally upon her vahana, the lion, a symbol of power and courage, she exudes confidence and authority. The lion, more than a mere mount, is a representation of untamed forces and ego, both of which Durga controls with effortless grace. Her multiple arms, each holding symbolic weapons, represent her ability to combat evil from all directions. The intricately detailed garments and jewelry highlight her divine beauty, a reminder that strength and elegance can coexist in perfect harmony. The statue stands on an ornamented, tiered base which enhances the overall aesthetic of the piece and brings greater prominence to the statue.The Legend of Mahishasura Mardini
The most celebrated tale of Durga narrates her victory over the demon Mahishasura. According to legend, Mahishasura had wreaked havoc across the cosmos. Armed with the boon of invincibility against all men, he was unstoppable. The gods, desperate and unable to defeat him, turned to the combined power of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. From their collective energy emerged Durga, a goddess of unparalleled might. Equipped with the divine weapons bestowed upon her by the gods, she engaged Mahishasura in a fierce battle that lasted for nine days and nights. Finally, on the tenth day, known as Vijayadashami, Durga triumphed, slaying the demon and restoring peace to the universe. Thus, she earned the epithet "Mahishasura Mardini," the slayer of Mahishasura. This statue serves as a potent reminder of her victory, inspiring devotees to overcome their own inner demons and challenges.A Timeless Addition to Your Space
