Hindu Goddess Durga Sitting on Lion Statue Staue Sculpture Unique Gifts

Description

In Hinduism, the goddess durga, is the "the inaccessible" or "the invincible", or Maa durga (Mother durga) "one who can redeem in situations of utmost distress". durga is a form of Devi, the supremely radiant goddess, depicted as having ten arms, riding a lion or a tiger, carrying weapons (including a Lotus flower), maintaining a meditative smile, and practicing mudras, or symbolic hand gestures. An embodiment of creative feminine force (Shakti), durga exists in a state of svatantrya (dependence on the universe and nothing/nobody else, self-sufficiency) and fierce compassion. durga is considered by Hindus to be an aspect of Kali, and the mother of Ganesha, and Kartikeya. She is thus considered the fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva s wife, goddess Parvati. durga manifests fearlessness and patience, and never loses her sense of humor, even during spiritual battles of epic proportion.
