Durgai Amman (also known as Goddess Durga) is a powerful Hindu goddess who embodies Shakti, the divine feminine energy. She is revered as the fierce protector of righteousness and the destroyer of evil forces. Durgai Amman is often portrayed riding a lion or tiger, symbolizing fearlessness and strength, and wielding various weapons in her multiple hands to combat demons and negative energies.
In Hindu mythology, she is celebrated for slaying the buffalo demon Mahishasura, representing the victory of good over evil. Durgai Amman is widely worshipped across India, especially in Tamil Nadu, during festivals like Navaratri and Durga Puja, where devotees seek her blessings for courage, protection, and prosperity.
