دورگا (Durga) is a prominent goddess in Hinduism, symbolizing strength, protection, and motherhood. She is often depicted riding a lion or tiger, showcasing her power and fearlessness. Durga is celebrated for her victory over the buffalo demon Mahishasura, representing the triumph of good over evil. The festival of Durga Puja honors her, particularly in the state of West Bengal, where elaborate idols and rituals are created. This celebration typically occurs in the autumn and involves prayers, music, dance, and community gatherings, reflecting the cultural significance of Durga in Hindu tradition.
