Embodying Divine Power and Victory

This exquisite brass statue captures the awe-inspiring form of Mahishasura-Mardini, the fearsome aspect of Goddess Durga who vanquished the buffalo demon Mahishasura. Crafted with intricate detail and imbued with spiritual significance, this representation is a testament to the enduring power of good over evil. The Goddess, depicted in her fierce yet benevolent stance, stands ready to protect her devotees and uphold cosmic order. Her multiple arms, each holding a celestial weapon, symbolize her supreme authority and ability to combat any adversity.

The Myth of Mahishasura's Defeat

The tale of Mahishasura's defeat is one of the most celebrated narratives in Hindu mythology, found in scriptures like the Devi Mahatmyam. Mahishasura, a powerful demon king, had obtained a boon that he could only be killed by a woman. He wreaked havoc on the earth, challenging the gods and conquering their realms. In their desperation, the gods combined their energies to create a supreme goddess, Durga, who was endowed with their collective powers. Durga, embodying divine feminine energy, battled Mahishasura for nine nights. On the tenth night, she finally defeated and killed the demon, bringing peace back to the cosmos. This victory signifies the triumph of dharma (righteousness) and the ultimate power of the divine feminine.

Artistry and Symbolism in Brass

This statue is meticulously cast in brass, a metal revered for its purity and durability, often associated with prosperity and positive energy. The lustrous golden hue of the brass enhances the divine aura of the Goddess. The artist has skillfully rendered every element, from the serene yet determined expression on Durga's face to the sharp details of her adornments and weaponry. The elaborately designed arched backdrop, reminiscent of temple architecture, frames the Goddess and further accentuates her divine presence. The multi-headed serpent coiled above her head symbolizes cosmic energy and protection, while the subdued form of Mahishasura beneath her feet represents the vanquished ego and negativity.

A Sacred Adornment for Your Space

This compact yet powerful statue is ideal for gracing your home altar, meditation space, or any corner that seeks a touch of divine presence and inspiration. Its manageable size allows for easy placement and integration into any decor. As a symbol of strength, courage, and the unwavering power of righteousness, this Mahishasura-Mardini statue serves as a constant reminder of the ability to overcome challenges and embrace victory in all aspects of life. Inviting this divine representation into your home is an invocation of protective energy and spiritual well-being.

The Fierce and Powerful Goddess Durga: Discovering the Symbolism and Significance

Goddess Durga is a revered deity in Hinduism and she is worshiped by many people in the eastern part of India and also in other countries such as Nepal and Bangladesh. She is considered the mother of this material world who takes care of the conditioned souls trapped in the material existence. She protects them from the demons who threaten peace and establishes Dharma. In the Shakta tradition or Shaktism (those who believe that feminine energy is supreme), Mother Durga has been given the highest position. She is often considered the expansion of Mother Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva who is the destroyer of the material world. The Vaishnavas consider Mother Durga as the external energy of the Supreme Lord Krishna or Vishnu. She takes charge of the material world and reforms those souls who do not abide by the rules of the Supreme Lord.

Mother Durga is often depicted as a young and beautiful woman, wearing a saree, and sitting on a tiger or lion. She has multiple arms (usually ten arms) that hold different items and weapons that express her martial skills. She tramples down the demon Mahishasura, with her trident, representing the subduer of vices.

What does Durga symbolize?

Being the powerful assistant of the Supreme Lord, Mother Durga tests our dedication to the Lord. She represents the material nature and like a loving mother, she gives a clarion call to all forgetful souls to turn their faces towards Lord Krishna, who is the only well-wisher of all living entities. The depiction of her violently killing the demon Mahishasura with her trident shows her extraordinary prowess. Mahishasura represents our demoniac mentality that wants to enjoy separately from the Supreme Lord, forgetting our eternal relationship with Him. Goddess Durga killing the demon symbolizes the victory of good over evil or wisdom over ignorance.

Where are Durga statues made in Kolkata?

The worship of Goddess Durga is prominent in festivals such as Durga Puja, Durga Ashtami, Navaratri, etc. On those days, people gather at a place and a big idol or deity of Goddess Durga is worshiped with faith and devotion. These idols of the Goddess are made in a place called Kumortuli, located near Kolkata, West Bengal. This city is renowned for its beautiful clay sculptures made by local manufacturers.

Can we keep Durga idol at home?

You can keep a Durga deity at your home if you want to attract her mercy into your life. Goddess Durga is very merciful toward her devotees and when pleased, she bestows them with both material and spiritual benefits. Those who approach and worship Goddess Durga with material desires in their hearts, she fulfills them. But if a person genuinely approaches her and prays to her to reveal about the Absolute Truth and the real goal of human life to them, being the superintendent of the Supreme Lord Vishnu, she blesses them with the light of knowledge about the Lord and inspires them to walk the path of devotion to Lord Vishnu.
