petals of a lotus and a gentle smile playing on the lips the face resembles the full
moon's orb, beautiful like the splendor of gold. Benign Bhagavati The Devi has two hands with varada (grant of desires) and Abhaya (freedom from fear) postures. She is satodari (of slender waist), komalangi (delicate-limbed) and sarvabharanabhushita (adorned with every ornament).
