Durga was created for slaying the buffalo demon Mahisasura. She embodies the collective energy of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and the lesser gods who were unable to overcome the demon, and she is the true source of their inner power. She has 1000 hands and holds the special weapon of each god in all of them given to her to defeat the buffalo demon. Goddess Durga is the protective mother of the universe who battles the forces of evil. This 9.5-inch high, 9-inch long, 3.5-inch wide bronze finish resin statue depicts Durga with 6 arms holding various weapons and riding a tiger, which represents power, will, and determination.
