An utterly fantastic statue of Durga defeating the buffalo demon or asura Mahisha.  Durga is the center piece of the sculpture.  She is radiant, standing with her ten arms spread out like the rays of the sun each holding a weapon bent on the destruction of Mahishasura.   The sculpture captures the moment when Durga's spear pierces the chest of Mahisha with drops of blood pouring from the wound.  Durga's vahana or vehicle, a lion, is actively participating in the foray jumping on the the Buffalo of Mahisha.  A snake is slithering along the front of the sculpture in the act of biting Mahisha's leg. 
Surrounding Durga are small versions of Ganesh and Murugan.  Ganesh is in the abhaya mudra and holds a lotus, conch shell and an elephant goad.  At his feet his vehicle, Mooshika the rat.  Murugan is on the opposite side holding a bow and arrow.   He has a slight mustache with his vehicle, a peacock by his side.  Lakshmi is behind Ganesha with one hand held up in the abhaya mudra.  Saraswati is behind Murugan playing the veena.  Both their vehicles, the owl and swan are on the base of the sculpture.
How the sculpture is made:  First each of the gods are made using a clay.  A mold is then made from each clay model.  A liquid fiberglass mixture is then poured into the mold and allowed to harden.  The mold is then broken off and the hardened fiber models are put together.  Clothes are then fashioned to fit the gods.  The clothes are custom made using old saris and patterned cloth.  Glass beads are then fixed to the cloths.  The crowns are made using cloth and then held in place with fiber skeletons.  Beads are added to the crowns as well.  Jewelry inlcuding nose rings, earrings, rings and bangals are added to each figure.  The long, black, curly hair is made from horse hair and is added to each of the gods.  The figures are all hand painted.
Durga Puja:  The statues are specifically made from Durga Puja celebrations and are the exact same statues used in Kolkata, India. 

I always say to our customers; The sculpture chooses you, you do not choose the sculpture.
You just know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart.
- Kyle Tortora, Founder of Lotus Sculpture
The Hindu Goddess of Durga is the most powerful aspect of Devi.  Durga means "the invincible" or "the inaccessible". Kali is considered by Hindus to be an aspect of Durga.  Durga is thus considered the fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva's wife, the goddess Parvati. Durga manifests fearlessness and patience, and never loses her sense of humor, even during spiritual battles of epic proportion.

Durga the Buffalo Demon Slayer

The buffalo demon Mahisha stomped across the three worlds, kicking up dust, polluting the earth and sea.
Neither Indra, king of gods, nor Kumara, commander of the celestial armies could stop him.  In despair the gods called on Vishnu for help.  Vishnu confronted the demon Mahisha first as Narasimha the man lion and then as Varaha, the boar, but each time he failed to subdue the demon.

Shiva, the supreme ascetic, disturbed by the violence opened h's third eye unleashing the fire of doom.  Even the power of Shiva's third eye capable of destroying the three worlds could not arrest Mahisha's march.
"Nothing can stop Mahisha now: he will soon control the universe and make Nature dance to his tunes," said Brahma the creator.

"It will never be so, Nature can never be conquered,"  said Brahma as his divine strength, his shakti, emerged from his body in the form of the goddess Brahmi.  She rode a swan and held books of wisdom in her hands.

Simultaneously, the shaktis of the other gods emerged taking female forms. From Indra, rose Indrani bearing a thunderbolt, riding an elephant, from Kumara rose Kaumari holding a lance and riding a peacock, from Vishnu rose Vaishanavi on an eagle with a discus whirling on her finger, from Varaha came the sharp tusk sow Varahi, from Shiva came Shiavani riding a bull bearing a trident.

The seven shaktis, unrestrained by the bodies of the gods, were fearsome beings - unbridled, untamed, restless energies of the cosmos.  They would not submit to the authority of any man, beast or god, let alone a demon.
They rose to the sky and merged with each other in a blinding light.  The sounds of the conchs, drums and bells filled the air.  With bated breath, the gods watched the light.  From the heavenly light arose a beautiful goddess.
"Who are you" asked the gods.

"I am Durga, the inaccessible one," replied the goddess.  "I am Prakriti, the substance that gives form and identity to all things.  I am Shakti, the power that enables all creatures to exist, to feel, think, act and react.  I am Maya, the delusion that makes life alluring yet elusive." The gods saluted the great goddess.  "Give me your weapons and I shall destroy he who seeks to dominate me," said the great goddess.

The goddess acquiesced.  Shiva gave his trident, Vishnu his discus and mace, Indra his thunderbolt, Kurmara his lance, Brahma his bow.  Then mounting a lion, Durga prepared for battle.

News of Vindhyavasini, Durga, the beautiful goddess who resides upon a mountain, mount Meru, reached Mahisha.  "She shall be my queen," declared the buffalo demon.  He ordered his two generals, Chanda and Munda, to fetch her.
Chanda and Munda placed the marriage proposal before Durga.

Durga did not reply.  The demons viewed this as insubordination and threatened Durga.  The mighty goddess responded by swinging her sword in one grand sweep she cut off both the generals heads.
The violent rejection of his marriage proposal enraged Mahisha.  "Bring that proud woman before me in chains and I shall show her who is master."

A hundred thousand asuras armed with bows, arrows, spears and swords surrounded Mount Meru, determined to capture Durga.  They marched up the mountain, before long a hundred thousand demon heads were seen rolling down Mount Meru smearing its slopes red.

Durga drank the blood of the demons.  Seizing a lute and drum she made music to celebrate her victory.
Humiliated by the defeat Mahisha asked, "Why won't you marry me, am I not lord of the three worlds?"
"I shall marry only he who defeats me in battle," revealed the goddess. "Then let us fight," responded the buffalo demon.

A great battle commenced.  Mountains shook, oceans trembled, clouds scattered across the sky, as the buffalo demon attacked Durga.  He rushed towards her, sometimes as a buffalo, sometimes as a lion, sometimes as an elephant.  The goddess broke the buffalo's horns with her mace, sheared the lion's mane with her lance, cut the elephant's trunk with her sword.

Weapon after weapon, when hurled at the buffalo demon, but each time he managed to rise up undefeated.
Realizing that her weapons had no effect on Mahisha, Durga threw them aside, dismounted from her lion and with her bare hands sprang upon Mahisha's back.  With her tender feet she kicked his head.  The demon, immune to the weapons of all the gods, fell senseless at the touch of Durga's feet. Durga then raised her trident and plunged it into the buffalo demons heart conquering the unconquerable.
