In Hinuism, Durga (Sanskrit: "the inaccessible" or "the invincible") or Maa Durga (Mother Durga) is a form of Devi, the supreme goddess. Goddess Durga is considered by Hindus to be the mother of Ganesha, Kartikeya, as well as Saraswati and Lakshmi. She is thus considered the fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva's wife, goddess Parvati.
