Durga is a major Hindu goddess, worshipped as a principal aspect of the mother goddess Mahadevi. She is associated with protection, strength, motherhood, destruction, and wars. Her legend centers around combating evils and demonic forces that threaten peace, prosperity, and dharma, representing the power of good over evil. She is seen as a motherly figure and often depicted as a beautiful woman with many arms riding a lion or tiger, each arm carrying a weapon and often defeating demons.
