Goddess Durga, revered as Sri Jaya Durgai, is fierce yet compassionate deity who blesses and protects her devotees. She is standing on the head of a buffalo, holding the conch (shankh) gifted by Varuna, symbolizing the sacred sound Aum, and the discus (chakra) gifted by Vishnu, representing the power to destroy evil and uphold righteousness. Her calm and smiling demeanor reflects the serene strength that protects her devotees. Devotees pray to Goddess Durga for courage, safely, and triumph over challenges in life.
