DURGA
Hindu War Goddess
Also known as Durgha
Warrior Goddess, and really great at killing demons
She has lots and lots of arms and armaments! You name it: Discusses, thunderbolts, flares, skulls, words, snakes and drums.
She is a goodie at heart, but when you take on 120 million demons at a time all mounted on elephants you can’t afford to mess around.
She also has nine additional manifestations called the Navadurgas. See also Uma, and if you fancy the idea of an alternative reincarnation, try Karni Mata.
