Bijoya

Shubho Bijoya !

The darkness might envelope the world but the light of Her victory will always pierce through it.

And

Happy Dussehra !

Goddess Durga slaying an army of demons - Rajasthan, probably Kotah; circa 1760-80

She is hailed as 'Moon-Bell',

Epitome of tranquility to her Bhaktas

But with her fierce ten hands and three eyes,

She is ever ready to vanquish the deadly enemies!
