Durga, the Warrior Goddess.
The Warrior Goddess is the fearsome – demon destroying – form of the Daughter of the Himalayas, Parvati. Although she has many different origin myths associating her with different gods such as Brahma, Vishnu and Krishna, her relationship with Shiva and Parvati is popular in the Himalayan regions.
