Goddess Durga is the fierce mother goddess who rides a lion into battle against the forces of evil. She was created by the combined powers of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva to defeat the buffalo demon Mahishasura, who could not be destroyed by any god. With ten arms holding divine weapons, Durga represents the ultimate feminine power -- both nurturing and terrifying. Navratri, the nine-night festival celebrated twice a year, is dedicated to her nine forms (Navadurga). In Bengal, Durga Puja is the biggest festival of the year, with elaborate pandals and clay idols that attract millions. Browse our Durga wallpapers for images of Maa Durga in her full divine glory.
