Maa Durga in this Panchaloha bronze can be seen stately standing on a two-tiered pedestal, with its lower portion decorated with incised lines used to mark lotus flower, topped with a buffalo head that belongs to the demon-king Mahishasur, who was slain by the goddess, earning her the title of “Mahishasur-Mardini” or the slayer of Mahishasur.
Turning her opponent’s head into her footrest, the goddess we see in this bronze Durga statue is also called “Mahishasur-Vijaya-Durga” or simply “Vijaya-Durga”, hinting at the fact of her Vijaya or victory over Mahishasur. Devi’s posture is victorious, and her attire and fineries are queenly. Residing in this resplendent Durga bronze, the warrior goddess is victory personified.
