This is the seventh form of Mother Durga and is worshipped on
the seventh day of Navaratri.

She has a dark complexion, disheveled hair and a fearlessness posture.A necklace flashing lightning adorns her neck. She has three eyes that shine bright and terrible flames emanate from
her breath. Her vehicle is the donkey. Her raised right hand always seems to grant boons to all worshippers and all her right lower hand is in the pose of allaying fears. Her left upper hand holds a thorn-like weapon,made of iron and there is a dragger in the lower left hand. She is black like Goddess Kali and holds a sparkling sword in her right hand battle all evil.

Her gesture of protection assures us of freedom from fear and troubles. So she is also known as ‘Shubhamkari’-one who does
good.

Despite her terrifying appearing appearance she is also known as Shubhankari,because she is the unparalleled granter of boons and harbinger of Good Luck and Successful Life.

Let’s pray Mahishasurmardini Goddess Mother Durga,her family members Shiva,Goddess Mahalaxmi,Goddess Saraswti,Lord Ganesh,
Lord Kartikeya and Goddess Kalratri for fervor,Courage,Wisdom,
Good Luck,Knowledge and Success.
