The Mythology of Durga: The Invincible Goddess
Durga, meaning "the inaccessible," is a central figure in Hindu mythology, revered as the supreme power and protector. She is often depicted in various forms, each embodying a unique aspect of her divine nature. Her most famous incarnation is the vanquishing of the demon Mahishasura, a shape-shifting buffalo demon who wreaked havoc on the earth. The gods, unable to defeat him, combined their powers to create Durga, a being of unparalleled strength and courage. This epic battle is celebrated annually during Navratri, a nine-night festival honoring the goddess. Her eight arms represent her various powers, wielding weapons including the sword, trident, discus, and conch shell. Her lion mount symbolizes her fierce determination and regal authority. This statue captures the essence of this mighty goddess, inviting reverence and contemplation.
