According to Alain Daniélou, Durga means "beyond defeat". According to Monier Monier-Williams, Durga is derived from the roots dur (difficult) and gam (pass, go through). It is related to the word Durg (दुर्ग) which means "fortress, something difficult to defeat or pass". The word Durga (दुर्गा) literally means "impassable", "invincible, unassailable". Durga is revered after spring and autumn harvests, specially during the festivals of Durga Puja and Navratri. ĭurga has a significant following all over India, Bangladesh and Nepal, particularly in its eastern states such as West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, Assam and Bihar. The Devi Mahatmya is considered to be as important a scripture as the Bhagavad Gita by the Shakta Hindus. While all major texts of Hinduism mention and revere the goddess, these two texts center around her as the primary divinity. The two most important texts of Shaktism, Devi Mahatmya and Devi-Bhagavata Purana, reveres Devi or Shakti (goddess) as the primordial creator of the universe and the Brahman (ultimate truth and reality). Under these traditions, Durga is associated and identified with other deities.

She is widely worshipped by the followers of the goddess centric sect, Shaktism, and has importance in other denominations like Shaivism and Vaishnavism. Durga is seen as a motherly figure and often depicted as a beautiful woman, riding a lion or tiger, with many arms each carrying a weapon and often defeating demons. According to Hindu legends, Durga is created by the gods to defeat the demon Mahishasura, who could be only killed by a female.

There are several hints to her in the early Vedic texts and by the time of the epics, she emerges as an independent deity. However this claim lacks direct visual evidence from the site. Historians of religion and art tend to trace the earliest depiction of Durga to the seals of Indus Valley Civilization. Durga is believed to unleash her divine wrath against the wicked for the liberation of the oppressed, and entails destruction to empower creation. Her legend centres around combating evils and demonic forces that threaten peace, prosperity, and Dharma the power of good over evil. She is associated with protection, strength, motherhood, destruction and wars. She is worshipped as a principal aspect of the mother goddess Devi and is one of the most popular and widely revered among Indian divinities.
