Shree Shree Jagadhatri - another divine form of the great goddess. This deity shares similarities with Ma Durga, however, Jagadhatri varies slightly from Durga - here she defeats the elephant demon, Karindrasura, rather than the buffalo form of Mahishasur. Jagadhatri means ‘holder of the world,’ and she is worshipped most heavily in the Bengal region.
