Embodying Power, Protection, and Grace
This exquisite 8.5-inch sculpture captures the iconic image of Maa Durga (also known as Simhavahini), the Hindu Goddess of strength, protection, and victory of good over evil. The piece is a powerful representation of Shakti, the fundamental cosmic energy that governs the universe.
Goddess Durga is depicted in a state of tranquil readiness, sitting upon her valiant vahana (vehicle), the Lion. The lion symbolizes untamed power, courage, and fierce will, which Durga has mastered and rides with divine poise.
With her characteristic multiple arms (often eight or ten), the Goddess is seen wielding various divine weapons, each gifted by the Gods to aid in her battle against the demonic forces, such as the Buffalo Demon Mahishasura. Her serene facial expression, contrasting with the fierce pose of the lion, beautifully illustrates the balance of immense power controlled by wisdom and grace.
Whether placed on a home altar, in a place of business to invoke protection, or as a striking piece of devotional art, this 8.5-inch statue serves as a constant reminder of inner strength, fearlessness, and the triumph of righteousness.
