Durga (Hindustani pronunciation: [d?u?rga?]; Sanskrit: ??????); meaning 'the inaccessible' or 'the invincible') is a popular fierce form of the Hindu Goddess or Devi. She is depicted with multiple (variously; up to ten) arms; carrying various weapons and riding a ferocious lion or tiger. She is often pictured as battling or slaying demons; particularly Mahishasura; the buffalo demon.
For the Goddess-worshipping Shaktas; Durga is sometimes equated with Mahadevi; the Supreme Goddess. Her triumph as Mahishasura Mardini; Slayer of the buffalo Demon is a central episode of the scripture Devi Mahatmya. Her victory is celebrated annually in the festivals of Navaratri and Durga Puja.
