Brighter Than a Thousand Suns

A long war had been waged between the gods, led by Indra, and the anti-gods, whose king Mahisha won the war and established himself in heaven. Then, guided by Shiva and Vishnu, they concentrated their powers which came forth in the form of fire. The flames united into a blazing sphere which took the shape of goddess Durga.

With her golden body blazing with the splendour of a thousand suns, seated on her lion vehicle, Durga is one of the most spectacular of all personifications of Cosmic energy. Devi, in her 'saumya' or benevolent form, looks serene and powerful. In her numerous hands she holds a mace, a sword, lotus, bow and an arrow, a trident and a conch shell. Her many weapons underscore the idea that the goddess incorporates the power of all the deities. Dressed in a green blouse and a red saree, she looks a perfect picture of kindness. Adorned in jewellery and an elaborate crown, she is beautiful. The crown and jewellery studded with precious stones points to her supreme status in the Hindu Pantheon.

The background is mountainous, which is well thought of since the word ‘Durga’, itself means insurmountable, and this is why too most of the Devi’s temples are built atop hills.
