Jagaddhatri Devi is a beautiful goddess with three eyes and four arms. She rides a lion and conquers an elephant demon called Karindrasura. The elephant symbolizes pride, while the lion represents divine strength. Jagaddhatri’s victory over the elephant demon shows that divine wisdom can overcome arrogance.

2. The Kamsanarayan Dream
