Goddess  Ambe Maa sitting on lion holding weapons in Her six hands,with one hand in blessing mudra and other in resting mode.

The Markandeya Puran, defines Ambe Maa as another manifestation of Maa Durga who has been bestowed with different shakti power from all Devtas and combining to become one. Ambe Maa sitting on a lion is a Manifestation of 'Shakti'. The power to breathe, walk, digest etc, comes from Ambe Maa. Therefore is also known as Maha Shakti.  Ambe Maa is worshipped in many forms with each having its own significance.

The Goddess had taken the powers from Tri-Devas (Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh) and took the form of Durga to kill the evil demon Mahishasura. Since then Ambe Maa is worshipped to vanquish all the evils in our lives and society. She is prayed with whole-hearted veneration on the nine evenings of Navratri festival.

Importance of Idol worship: Idols are not the idle fancies of sculptors, but shining channels through which the heart of the devotee is attracted to and flows towards God. Though the image is worshipped, the devotee feels the presence of the Lord in it and pours out his devotion unto it. Regular worship, Puja and other modes of demonstrating our inner feeling of recognition of Divinity in the idol unveils the Divinity latent in it. This is truly a wonder and a miracle. The picture comes to life.The idol speaks. It will answer your questions and solve your problems. The God in you has the power to awaken the latent Divinity in the idol. The lives of Mirabai, Sant Tukaram, Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Shri Yogananda are a few instances to prove the point. They proved beyond doubt that idol worship has its own brighter side and through simple faith and intense devotion one can realize God through it.

Idols are the "finite representation of the Infinite".  As per Vishnu Samhita (ch 29, v 55-7), persuasively endorses the use of imagery (idols) and puts it: "Without a form how can God be mediated upon? If (He is) without any form, where will the mind fix itself? When there is nothing for the mind to attach itself to, it will slip away from meditation or will glide into a state of slumber. Therefore the wise will meditate on some form, remembering, however, that the form is a superimposition and not a reality."
