something interesting i learned about Durga/Kali/Parvati in Hinduism. In Hinduism, Shakti, the main supreme goddess and shiva's counterpart, is the epitome of Power. In the biography here, it says that shiva has many wives, which is true, but Parvati/Durga/Kali are all manifestations of Shakti aka same deity. like how the OG shiva has another manifestation, which is the dancing Shiva (Nadaraja) and many more. i dont know how others see her but it seems like hindus have extremely high regards for durga. in many anecdotes, shiva and shakti are always seen in one body, meaning one cant be without another. shiva is powerless without shakti. Shakti in sanskrit itself means 'power' and although shiva is the final boss guy out there to end everything, he still can't match the wrath of her in her mad kali form. even among hindus ppl pray to the goddess for power and strength and rarely to shiva.
