Goddess Durga
Goddess Durga is the mother of the universe and believed to be the power behind the work of creation, preservation, and destruction of the world. Since time immemorial she has been worshipped as the supreme power of the Supreme Being and has been mentioned in many scriptures .
I tried to capture Maa ( Mother) Durga , which we worship. She is made from the holy clay from the river Ganges ,every ornaments and details are hand made.
Enjoy the moment !!!!

Bijaya dashami (Sanskrit: विजयादशमी) also known as Dashahara (Sanskrit: दशहरा) or Ayudhapuja (Sanskrit: आयुधपूजा), is one of the most important Hindu festivals celebrated in various forms, across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh as well as parts ofPakistan. The name Dussehra is derived from Sanskrit. Dasha-hara literally means Dashanan ravan (the name of Ravan and in short Dasha and Hara (defeat)) referring to Lord Rama's victory over the ten-headed demon king Ravana.
The day also marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasur. The name Dussehra is also derived from SanskritAhaha, which means day. For example, Aharnisha is derived from Ahaha+nisha. The Goddess fought with evils for nine nights and ten days. The name Vijayadashami is also derived from the Sanskrit words "Vijaya-dashami", literally meaning the victory on the dashami (Dashmi being the tenth lunar day of the Hindu calendar month). Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated twenty days after Dussehra.

Maa Durga is the primordial power, the divine force behind creation, preservation, and destruction. According to mythology, when the demon Mahishasura became invincible against gods and humans, the combined energies of the deities gave birth to Durga. She appeared in her ten-armed form, each hand holding a divine weapon, riding a lion as her mount. By slaying Mahishasura, she ended the reign of evil and re-established righteousness. Durga, therefore, is not just worshiped as a goddess, but also as the eternal symbol of victory of good over evil.
