She is a principal deity who banishes evil and protects righteousness. She embodies supreme feminine energy. Durga riding on a lion is known as “Simhavahini” which is often a more traditional depiction of her, rather than “Sherawali” or Durga riding upon a tiger. Simhavahini represents Durga’s righteousness, stability and controlled power. In this specific depiction she has one hand up flat as a blessing and another hand making the “Needle” mudra or “seal” which represents the supreme soul, or creator god, Brahma. In her other hands she holds the following items: lotus, axe, mace and trident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAbout Mudras:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMudras are specific representative body positions, hand and\/or finger gestures sometimes referred to as “seals” or “marks” and are highly symbolic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis piece requires special handling.\u003cbr\u003eFor shipping rates, please contact the gallery before purchasing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pandaya Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44005287526460,"sku":null,"price":2495.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/7426\/0796\/files\/IMG-2959.png?v=1771785229","url":"https:\/\/pandayagallery.com\/products\/durga-seated-on-lion","provider":"Pandaya Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
