Durga ji
Maa Durga is the supreme divine mother, a powerful manifestation of Shakti (cosmic energy), who protects the universe from evil, restores balance, and blesses her devotees with strength, courage, wisdom, and victory. She is depicted riding a lion or tiger, with multiple arms holding divine weapons, and slaying the buffalo demon Mahishasura — symbolizing the destruction of ego, ignorance, and negativity. She embodies compassion and wrath, nurture and power, beauty and bravery — all at once. Worship of Maa Durga, especially during Navratri, is believed to remove internal and external obstacles, and awaken the divine force within. She is the unshakable support for devotees in distress, empowering them to rise above fear and failure.
