In Hindu religion, Durga Mata or Durga Maa is the mother of the universe and is worshipped as the supreme power. Durga devi, in Sanskrit means "She who is incomprehensible." Goddess Durga is a form of Sakti worshiped for her gracious as well as terrifying aspect. Durgaji is also called by many other names, such as Parvati, Ambika, and Kali Durga, Jai Ambe. Destroyer of demons, Ma Durga is worshiped during an annual festival called Durga puja, where the devotees loose themselves while enchanting the Durga aarti and also the Durga slokas (or Durga mantras).
