The worship of the feminine has always been central to the Hindu culture. Be it any cast or sect, a feminine deity is always present to receive the reverence and devotion of her ardent devotees. Devi Durga, one of the most fierce manifestations of the supreme energy, is one such feminine deity in Hinduism. There is a whole sect of people dedicated to her worship known as the 'Shakta' people. Her devotees regard her as the Parabrahm (the ultimate being) itself, thus worshipping her to attain moksha (salvation). According to the legends, she was the one who slew the demon Mahishasura, who had wreaked havoc upon the living beings, thus relieving her devotees of misery and suffering.

This brass statue perfectly portrays the ferocious yet affectionate form of Devi with utmost care and delicacy. The fine carvings on the pure brass make the Devi almost feel alive. Sitting on her mighty lion, the ten-handed Devi is holding various weapons and also blessing her devotees at the same time. This signifies her benevolent and motherly nature, but if the situation compels, she is ever ready to slay the forces of evil as well. The Devi is clad in an ethnic Sari and exquisite Jewelleries. A garland slithering down her body and the royal crown completes her presence as a divine deity. Still, amidst all the chaos, her face radiates divine calm and silence. A silence that can pervade even the most restless of hearts. That is what the Devi stands for, to keep fighting with the evil within, and rise towards divinity, becoming one with the eternal silence. To celebrate Devi Durga's victory over Mahishasura, a 9 days long festival is held known as the Navaratri. Celebrated in almost every part of the country, this is when the Devi almost rules the very heart of the people. Such is the love and devotion for Devi among people. This love and devotion have made it possible to craft such a beautiful statue, conveying the innate essence of mother goddess Durga.



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.

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.
