Durga, in Sanskrit means "She who is incomprehensible or difficult to reach." Goddess Mata Durga is a form of Shakti worshiped for her gracious as well as terrifying aspect. Mother of the Universe, she represents the infinite power of the universe and is a symbol of a female dynamism. The manifestation of Goddess Durga is said to emerge from Her formless essence and the two are inseparable. Maata Durga is also called by many other names, such as Parvati, Ambika, and Kali. In the form of Parvati, She is known as the divine spouse of Lord Shiva and is the mother of Her two sons, Ganesha and Karttikeya, and daughter Jyoti. Destroyer of demons, Mata Durga is worshiped during an annual festival called Durga puja, especially popular among Bengalis. There are endless aspects of Durga described in the Puranas and Agamas and the iconography is consequently very varied. Maata Durga is usually pictured as having ten arms holding Sword, Conch, Discus, Rosary, Bell, Winecup, Shielf, Bow, Arrow and Spear. Mata Durga is most often shown riding a lion from which comes Her august name, Simhavahini, "She who stands astride the king of beasts".
