What Does Maa Durga Symbolise? Maa Durga symbolises divine Shakti (energy) that destroys evil forces within us like arrogance, jealousy, anger and lust. Maa Durga is the combined form of Maa Lakshmi, Maa Kali and Maa Saraswati. Maa Durga on tiger means mastery over power and determination. The 8 hands represent 4 classes in Hinduism: 2 hands belong to priests/scholars, 2 to warriors/kings, 2 to merchants and 2 to labourers. The strength that emerges from the unity of these hands is the divine power, Maa Durga. Unity is strength, which will destroy the demon Mahishasur, who symbolises communalism.
