the #goddess #Durga. She is known for #vanquishing
#demons, granting the wishes of her devotees, being the daughter of the Himalayas, marrying Lord #Shiva and giving birth to #Ganesha,
the Elephant-headed God. She is the embodiment of motherhood,
feminine power, and compassion. Her worship, iconography,
and philosophy forms the third largest sect of Hinduism, known
as Shaktam—The Path of Power. Those who follow Shaktam
affirm the vitality and #spiritual potency of the #material world,
which is believed to be a product of her divine creativity.
