Why does Durga sit on a lion? ---The lion of Mother Durga represents “Dharmaâ€. It is mentioned in several texts that the Dharma is “Swayam-eva-mrigendrataa†(Dharma is like a lion by itself). The lion represents power, will and determination. Mother Durga riding the lion symbolizes her mastery over all these qualities.
