  • The Hindu Goddess Durga is the most splendid manifestation of Devi, virginal and sublime, containing within her the power of all the Hindu gods combined
  • Durga is shown with 8 arms each holding weapons including a large tridetn that can be removed from the pieces, a sword, discus, conch shell, flower, club and a bow and arrows
  • She sits upon her vahana or vehicle the lion that has no actual base beneath him with his four legs directly on the ground
  • Durga has two seperate siraschakras or godly halos, one directly around her face and another larger one that circles her whole torso
Durga is beautiful and untamable!   Her 8 arms hold a myriad of weapons and symbols including a conch, discus mainly associated with Vishnu.  She is seated on her vahana or vehicle a lion.  She is quite passive in this form, very unusual for Durga the unconquerable from of Devi.  Her hand held up in the abhaya mudra or "fear not" hand position.  The large trident she holds in separate from the statue and can be removed.  There is no base so the lions feet are right on the ground.

"The sculpture chooses you. You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."
~Kyle Tortora
Founder, Lotus Sculpture
The Hindu Goddess of Durga is the most powerful aspect of Devi.  Durga means "the invincible" or "the inaccessible". Kali is considered by Hindus to be an aspect of Durga.  Durga is thus considered the fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva's wife, the goddess Parvati. Durga manifests fearlessness and patience, and never loses her sense of humor, even during spiritual battles of epic proportion.

Durga the Buffalo Demon Slayer

The buffalo demon Mahisha stomped across the three worlds, kicking up dust, polluting the earth and sea.
Neither Indra, king of gods, nor Kumara, commander of the celestial armies could stop him.  In despair the gods called on Vishnu for help.  Vishnu confronted the demon Mahisha first as Narasimha the man lion and then as Varaha, the boar, but each time he failed to subdue the demon.

Shiva, the supreme ascetic, disturbed by the violence opened h's third eye unleashing the fire of doom.  Even the power of Shiva's third eye capable of destroying the three worlds could not arrest Mahisha's march.
"Nothing can stop Mahisha now: he will soon control the universe and make Nature dance to his tunes," said Brahma the creator.

"It will never be so, Nature can never be conquered,"  said Brahma as his divine strength, his shakti, emerged from his body in the form of the goddess Brahmi.  She rode a swan and held books of wisdom in her hands.

Simultaneously, the shaktis of the other gods emerged taking female forms. From Indra, rose Indrani bearing a thunderbolt, riding an elephant, from Kumara rose Kaumari holding a lance and riding a peacock, from Vishnu rose Vaishanavi on an eagle with a discus whirling on her finger, from Varaha came the sharp tusk sow Varahi, from Shiva came Shiavani riding a bull bearing a trident.

The seven shaktis, unrestrained by the bodies of the gods, were fearsome beings - unbridled, untamed, restless energies of the cosmos.  They would not submit to the authority of any man, beast or god, let alone a demon.
They rose to the sky and merged with each other in a blinding light.  The sounds of the conchs, drums and bells filled the air.  With bated breath, the gods watched the light.  From the heavenly light arose a beautiful goddess.
"Who are you" asked the gods.

"I am Durga, the inaccessible one," replied the goddess.  "I am Prakriti, the substance that gives form and identity to all things.  I am Shakti, the power that enables all creatures to exist, to feel, think, act and react.  I am Maya, the delusion that makes life alluring yet elusive." The gods saluted the great goddess.  "Give me your weapons and I shall destroy he who seeks to dominate me," said the great goddess.

The goddess acquiesced.  Shiva gave his trident, Vishnu his discus and mace, Indra his thunderbolt, Kurmara his lance, Brahma his bow.  Then mounting a lion, Durga prepared for battle.

News of Vindhyavasini, Durga, the beautiful goddess who resides upon a mountain, mount Meru, reached Mahisha.  "She shall be my queen," declared the buffalo demon.  He ordered his two generals, Chanda and Munda, to fetch her.
Chanda and Munda placed the marriage proposal before Durga.

Durga did not reply.  The demons viewed this as insubordination and threatened Durga.  The mighty goddess responded by swinging her sword in one grand sweep she cut off both the generals heads.
The violent rejection of his marriage proposal enraged Mahisha.  "Bring that proud woman before me in chains and I shall show her who is master."

A hundred thousand asuras armed with bows, arrows, spears and swords surrounded Mount Meru, determined to capture Durga.  They marched up the mountain, before long a hundred thousand demon heads were seen rolling down Mount Meru smearing its slopes red.

Durga drank the blood of the demons.  Seizing a lute and drum she made music to celebrate her victory.
Humiliated by the defeat Mahisha asked, "Why won't you marry me, am I not lord of the three worlds?"
"I shall marry only he who defeats me in battle," revealed the goddess. "Then let us fight," responded the buffalo demon.

A great battle commenced.  Mountains shook, oceans trembled, clouds scattered across the sky, as the buffalo demon attacked Durga.  He rushed towards her, sometimes as a buffalo, sometimes as a lion, sometimes as an elephant.  The goddess broke the buffalo's horns with her mace, sheared the lion's mane with her lance, cut the elephant's trunk with her sword.

Weapon after weapon, when hurled at the buffalo demon, but each time he managed to rise up undefeated.
Realizing that her weapons had no effect on Mahisha, Durga threw them aside, dismounted from her lion and with her bare hands sprang upon Mahisha's back.  With her tender feet she kicked his head.  The demon, immune to the weapons of all the gods, fell senseless at the touch of Durga's feet. Durga then raised her trident and plunged it into the buffalo demons heart conquering the unconquerable.

Brass statues from India do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.

You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup. If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.

Indian brass's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The metal can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine.
