? Definition of Sitting Durgai:

Sitting Durgai (Durga) refers to the divine form of Goddess Durga depicted in a calm, seated posture upon her lion. Durga is the embodiment of Shakti (divine feminine energy), revered as the supreme protector who destroys evil and restores dharma.

• Symbolism of Sitting Posture: Unlike standing or fierce battle forms, the seated form of Durga represents steadfastness, stability, and assurance of protection. It signifies that the goddess is ever-present, watching over her devotees, and blessing them with strength, prosperity, and spiritual growth.

• Lion Mount (Simha Vahana): Represents courage, power, and the ability to overcome fear and negativity.

• Weapons in Hands: Each weapon symbolizes divine attributes such as protection, wisdom, justice, and destruction of evil.

Thus, a Sitting Durga idol is worshipped for protection, prosperity, peace of mind, and removal of obstacles, while invoking the goddess’s blessings in households and temples.
