Symbolic Meaning:
This piece is elegantly crafted in Sterling Silver and features the Durga symbol. In Hindu mythology, Durga is revered as the embodiment of strength, motherhood and protection. She is a fierce warrior that combats the forces of evil to restore dharma or righteousness. She also represents the divine femininity or Shakti, which fuels creation and destruction. Her multiple arms wielding various weapons represent strength and protection: 1) the Trident represents the three aspects of reality – creation, preservation and destruction. 2) The Sword symbolises knowledge and the power to cut through ignorance. 3) The Bow and Arrow represent focus and determination towards achieving goals. 4) The Disc symbolises the cycle of life and the importance of dharma. In a world overcome with challenges and adversities, Durga serves as a powerful reminder of resilience, strength and the importance of resisting injustice. ©
