Durga resembles Greek mythical spirit Eudaemon;
Symbol of motherhood, strength, safety, destruction and wars,
Amalgamation of goddesses and their divine source...!
Myths hold she miraculously emerged from Ganges Holy,
Culmination of powers of all gods wrapped her wholly;
She rides on lion exhibiting limitless power,
As Kali, in blood of wrong-doers she takes her shower...!

Creating a perfect ambiance of the festival to it's full.
The Goddess finally arrives,
To shower her blessings on our lives.
She is represented in the form of killing
