Durga Dheki Square Photo Frame 7″/7″

Durga is typically depicted riding a lion or a tiger. The Dheki appears in artistic interpretations of Durga Puja, particularly in themes that highlight rural life, agriculture, and the “Korshon” (cultivation) theme. Some sources associate the Dheki as the vehicle of the sage Narada Muni, not Durga. Modern Puja Pandals sometimes use the Dheki to depict the goddess in a more rural, accessible, or eco-friendly light. Therefore, Durga in the form of a Dheki is not a standard mythological representation, but rather a thematic or artistic expression, often highlighting agricultural or rural culture in Bengal. The mention of Goddess Durga in the form of a “Dheki” (an old-style wooden rice husker/lever) is largely a folkloric, artistic, or poetic representation, particularly in the Bengal region, rather than a mainstream Puranic form.
