Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Hi, Tiger or Lion, it is interchangeable. You have to ask the artist why he chose that With regards to the vahana, we all know that the Lion is King. And Durga is after all the Queen of the Cosmos. That's one of the reasons.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Namaste, In Durga-sapta-shati there are several references to the lion only, and none to tiger! Ch. 2:29 is the first ref.: Himavat gave a lion to Devi to ride on. Elsewhere Devi is referred to as si.nha-vaahinii.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Namaste, In Calcutta, for Durga Puja, the flowers used are Tuberose [rajanigandha], Marigold, and Lotus. The following news item will give someidea: Flower cultivation in limbo after floods CALCUTTA : Flower cultivators in the nine flood-ravaged districts in West Bengal are in limbo. Just before the pujas floods came in and made them helpless, losing everything.. For the puja organisers, this year , collecting flowers may be a difficult task this year as flowers generally used for Durga puja are in short supply in the market. Since vast stretches of Nadia and North 24 Parganas are still under flood waters, flowers will not reach Calcutta from these two districts for the pujas this time. Nearly 60 per cent of the total flower supply meant for the Calcutta markets come from these two districts. Tuberose(rajanigandha), Merigold are imported to Calcutta from Nadia and North 24 Parganas. Districts like Birbhum, Burdwan and Midnapore are the bulk supplier of lotus. Members of the different puja committees in Calcutta are struggling hard to procure lotus. The 'sandhi puja' at the conjunction of 'ashtami' and 'navami' requires the use of 108 lotus flowers. Supply of flowers in recent times in Calcutta's Mullickghat flower Market, the only big one in the eastern region, has reduced to a half. According to Narayan Chandra Nayak of the Mullickghat Fulchasi O Byabasayi Sangram Samity, now the average daily supply of flowers in Mullickghat has come down to 10 tonnes from the usual 20 tonnes.On the other hand prices of flowers in the market has gone up high. Meanwhile flower cultivators and traders of the flood-hit districts on Monday demanded fresh loan for their survival. In a statement, Nayak urged the state government to provide them with free seeds, fertiliser and saplings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
