✦ About
Durga is the fierce warrior goddess who embodies the combined power of all the gods, created to defeat the buffalo demon Mahishasura whom no god or man could kill. She is the invincible protector of the universe, riding into battle on a lion or tiger.
With eight to eighteen arms bearing the weapons of all the gods, Durga represents shakti—the divine feminine energy that powers creation. She is both beautiful and terrifying, nurturing and fierce, embodying the complete power of the divine feminine.
Durga is celebrated during Navratri, nine nights of worship honoring her victory over evil. She represents the triumph of good over evil, the strength to face any challenge, and the protective love of the divine mother.
✦ Famous Story
The gods combined their powers to create Durga when no one could defeat Mahishasura. She battled him for nine nights, finally slaying him on the tenth day—celebrated as Vijayadashami (Victory Day). Her creation proves that united, good always triumphs over evil.
