दुर्गा - Durga.
Durga is worshipped as a principal aspect of the mother goddess Mahadevi. She is associated with protection, strength, motherhood, destruction, and wars. The word Durga (दुर्गा) literally means "impassable", "invincible", "unassailable". It is related to the word Durg (दुर्ग) which means "fortress, something difficult to defeat or pass".
Her vāhana (mount) is the male lion, what associates her, to a certain extent, with the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra in vedic astrology which has this animal as its symbol.
