| - | In [[Hinduism]], '''Durga''' is a form of [[Devi]], the supreme goddess. She is depicted as a woman riding a [[tiger]] with multiple hands carrying weapons and assuming [[mudra]]s, or symbolic hand gestures. This signifies life. This form of the Goddess is the embodiment of feminine and creative energy ([[Shakti]]). She is married to Lord [[Shiva]]. As an [[avatar]], she took the form of [[Annapurna]]. | ||
