Durga is a form of the supreme Goddess Devi. She is depicted as a beautiful woman with many arms, who is riding a lion. In some of her hands she is shown holding the weapons of all of the gods, and her other hands assume multiple mudras (symbolic hand gestures). According to legend, long ago the powerful demon, Mahishasura had declared war on the gods, and he had chased them from heaven. He had gained his tremendous strength through intense prayers to Brahma, and no god or man could kill him. He unleashed a reign of terror in Heaven, on Earth, and in the underworlds. Since the male gods were unable to defeat him, they all agreed to concentrate all of their energy (Shakti) together, to create a warrior goddess, capable of defeating Mahishasura. Durga was stunningly beautiful and extremely lethal. At first Mahishasura tried to marry her, but Durga immediately set about destroying his vast armies of demons, and eventually killed Mahishasura himself. These shirts can be machine washed in cold water, but should be turned inside-out when washed. They are a cotton-poly blend, and they will not shrink. They are a size small, but will comfortably fit size medium as well if you don't mind a slightly tighter fit (they stretch).
