Durga Jagadhatri The Great Mother Goddess. For Hindus she is identical with western Juno, Queen of Mothers. This most powerful ancient goddess archetype, inheritor of the attributes of the Sumerian goddess Inanna , has been portrayed in mid-east iconography riding upon her lion (or tiger: both are symbols of queenly power) since prehistoric times. She is the personification of Shakti, the creative force. Here she offers the blessing mudra (sacred gesture) of protection to all mothers and children as she defeats the destructive elephant demon Mahisa.
