Who is Goddess Jagaddhatri?

Goddess Jagaddhatri is an aspect of Durga representing the sustenance and protection of the universe. She is depicted as gold-complexioned, three-eyed, and four-armed, riding a lion that stands over a vanquished elephant demon (Karindrasura), representing the subjugation of raw animalistic ego. While celebrated across Bengal, the towns of Chandannagar (Hooghly) and Krishnanagar (Nadia) are legendary for their massive, multistoried idols and exquisite public light arrays.
