Invite the powerful blessings and protective aura of Goddess Mariamman into your home with this exquisite, handcrafted brass statue. Standing at six inches tall, this divine representation captures the essence of the South Indian Mother Goddess, revered for her power to heal, protect, and bestow prosperity.

Often associated with the fierce aspect of Durga, she is invoked to ward off disease, evil spirits, and natural calamities. Tales describe her as a benevolent force, a motherly protector who showers her devotees with grace and comfort. Her multi-headed cobra hood signifies her dominion over the underworld and her ability to control potent forces, while the weapons she holds, such as the trident and the damaru (drum), represent her power to destroy negativity and create anew. This statue embodies her formidable strength and her nurturing compassion, a dual nature cherished by her followers.

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue is a testament to traditional Indian metalwork. The lustrous sheen of the brass enhances the divine form, giving it a timeless appeal. The meticulous carving portrays the rich adornments of the Goddess, from her ornate crown and jewelry to the folds of her divine garment. Observe the delicate rendering of the serpent's scales, each one meticulously formed to create a sense of vibrant life. The inclusion of the severed head at the base is a significant symbolic element, representing her victory over ego and ignorance, and her ability to transform even the most negative aspects into a source of divine strength. This piece is not merely a decorative item but a sacred object that carries profound spiritual meaning and artistic merit.

A Sacred Presence for Your Space

Whether placed on an altar, a meditation space, or a prominent shelf in your living area, this Goddess Mariamman statue serves as a constant reminder of divine strength and protection. Its compact size makes it versatile, fitting seamlessly into various décor styles while exuding an aura of sacredness. The enduring nature of brass ensures that this statue will be a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations, carrying with it the blessings and spiritual legacy of the Mother Goddess. Bring home this embodiment of divine power and feminine grace, and experience the tranquility and protection it offers.

The Fierce and Powerful Goddess Durga: Discovering the Symbolism and Significance

Goddess Durga is a revered deity in Hinduism and she is worshiped by many people in the eastern part of India and also in other countries such as Nepal and Bangladesh. She is considered the mother of this material world who takes care of the conditioned souls trapped in the material existence. She protects them from the demons who threaten peace and establishes Dharma. In the Shakta tradition or Shaktism (those who believe that feminine energy is supreme), Mother Durga has been given the highest position. She is often considered the expansion of Mother Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva who is the destroyer of the material world. The Vaishnavas consider Mother Durga as the external energy of the Supreme Lord Krishna or Vishnu. She takes charge of the material world and reforms those souls who do not abide by the rules of the Supreme Lord.

Mother Durga is often depicted as a young and beautiful woman, wearing a saree, and sitting on a tiger or lion. She has multiple arms (usually ten arms) that hold different items and weapons that express her martial skills. She tramples down the demon Mahishasura, with her trident, representing the subduer of vices.

What does Durga symbolize?

Being the powerful assistant of the Supreme Lord, Mother Durga tests our dedication to the Lord. She represents the material nature and like a loving mother, she gives a clarion call to all forgetful souls to turn their faces towards Lord Krishna, who is the only well-wisher of all living entities. The depiction of her violently killing the demon Mahishasura with her trident shows her extraordinary prowess. Mahishasura represents our demoniac mentality that wants to enjoy separately from the Supreme Lord, forgetting our eternal relationship with Him. Goddess Durga killing the demon symbolizes the victory of good over evil or wisdom over ignorance.

Where are Durga statues made in Kolkata?

The worship of Goddess Durga is prominent in festivals such as Durga Puja, Durga Ashtami, Navaratri, etc. On those days, people gather at a place and a big idol or deity of Goddess Durga is worshiped with faith and devotion. These idols of the Goddess are made in a place called Kumortuli, located near Kolkata, West Bengal. This city is renowned for its beautiful clay sculptures made by local manufacturers.

Can we keep Durga idol at home?

You can keep a Durga deity at your home if you want to attract her mercy into your life. Goddess Durga is very merciful toward her devotees and when pleased, she bestows them with both material and spiritual benefits. Those who approach and worship Goddess Durga with material desires in their hearts, she fulfills them. But if a person genuinely approaches her and prays to her to reveal about the Absolute Truth and the real goal of human life to them, being the superintendent of the Supreme Lord Vishnu, she blesses them with the light of knowledge about the Lord and inspires them to walk the path of devotion to Lord Vishnu.
