At one time, Durga was worshipped all the way from India to Rome. While she has been forgotten in today's Christian and Muslim cultures, she is still the great warrior goddesses of Hinduism.
You can recognize Durga immediately because she's always shown riding on or standing beside a lion or tiger. She holds a host of weapons in her many hands. Often she's pictured attacking a buffalo demon named Mahisha. Look at her face : You'll notice that even in the thick of battle she always appears completely calm.
