Durga

Durga is the divine mother of the universe and wife of Lord Shiva. She is the manifestation of Goddess Adishakti who had taken birth on Earth as Parvati. Durga is a symbol of the supreme feminine soul called Shakti, the primordial cosmic energy cause of all phenomena of creation, existence, and destruction in conjunction with the masculine Trimurti. In this thangka painting, Durga is armed with celestial weapons and decked with divine ornaments dancing on a white snow lion.
