In Hinduism, Durga ("the inaccessible" or "the invincible") or Maa Durga (Mother Durga) "one who can redeem in situations of utmost distress".
Durga is a form of Devi, the supremely radiant goddess, depicted as having ten arms, riding a lion or a tiger, carrying weapons and a lotus flower, maintaining a meditative smile, and practicing mudras, or symbolic hand gestures.
An embodiment of creative feminine force (Shakti), Durga exists in a state of svātantrya (independence from the universe and anything/anybody else, i.e., self-sufficiency) and fierce compassion.

Kali is considered by Hindus to be an aspect of Durga. Durga is also the mother of Ganesha and Kartikeya.
She is thus considered the fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva's wife, goddess Parvati.
Durga manifests fearlessness and patience, and never loses her sense of humor, even during spiritual battles of epic proportion.
