       This is a scene from a Puranic text called the Devi Mahatmyam: "Glory of the Goddess". Here the goddess Durga (seated on a lion) fighting an army of demons. In the midst of battle, one of the demons insulted her and she became so enraged that goddess Kali (shown in dark blue) emanated from her third eye and jumped onto the battlefield. Devi Mahatmyam is the foundational text of Shaktam and is regularly recited during Navaratri.
