She rides her tiger for beauty, wherein the real creativity sings of wondrous beats of emanation.

I like this picture too, apparently the name 'Durga' in Sanskrit means 'invincible'. The syllable 'du' is synonymous with the 4 devils of poverty, sufferings, famine, and evil habits. The 'r' refers to diseases and the 'ga' is the destroyer of sins, injustice, irreligion, cruelty and laziness. She is the fierce warrior manifestation of Devi, the Divine Mother of Truth.
