Durga, the formidable warrior goddess, embodies her martial prowess through striking iconography. Her visual representation harmonizes with her fierce attributes. She fearlessly mounts a lion or a tiger, bearing between eight to eighteen hands, each wielding a weapon for the dual purpose of destruction and creation. While her icon portrays her in dynamic action, her countenance remains tranquil and serene.
Traditionally, Durga wields an array of weapons bestowed upon her by male Hindu deities, recognizing her as the embodiment of shakti (energy and power). In Hindu art, the serenity in her face reflects the belief that her protective yet fierce nature arises not from hatred or ego, nor a pleasure in violence. Instead, it stems from her necessity to act, driven by love for the good, the liberation of those who rely on her, and marks the commencement of the soul's journey toward creative freedom.
