The beautiful Hindu goddess Durga is represented by the bold fierce eyes, large golden nose ring, red lipstick, and tika upon the forehead. Durga, meaning the invincible, is believed to be the power behind creation, preservation, and destruction of the world. At a time like Dashain, Durga is one of the most significant and prayed to goddesses. Offerings are given to her, and many sacrifices are made during the week of Dashain. She goes by multiple names and is a multi-dimensional goddess.
