Artist performs Mythological dance drama as Hindu Goddess
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: In North India, Goddess Durga is worshipped as "Sherawali", the warrior goddess who rides a tiger. North India celebrates Navaratri twice a year — once in March-April, known as Chaitra Navaratri, and then in September-October, known as Shardiya Navaratri. Eastern India celebrates the Shardiya Navaratri by worshipping goddess Durga for five days. At the same time, South India worships goddess Saraswati during the Shardiya Navaratri. South Indian states celebrate Golu Puja during the Dussehra period by worshipping Goddess Saraswati, Parvati and Laxmi.The different ways of celebrating Durga Puja across India on the same occasion may be confusing to some. In some places, Goddess Durga is worshipped as Saraswati, Parvati and Laxmi, in other places she’s worshipped as Sherawali. In other parts still, she is called Simha-vahini (goddess riding a lion), Mahisha-Mardini (goddess who slew the buffalo) and even Mahishasura-Mardini (goddess who slew the buffalo demon).Simha-vahini, Sherawali, Mahisha-Mardini and Mahishasura-Mardini are four different forms of Goddess Durga, which have now been merged into Mahishasura-Mardini.
