Maheshwari: One of the seven Hindu mother goddesses, or Sapta Matrikas, the Goddess Maheshwari gets her name and power from the Hindu God Shiva, also known as Maheshwara. Her primary areas of devotion and spiritual guidance are protection, overcoming, and prayer. She is the protective aspect of Lakshmi. The prayer wheel, the mask, and the drum are her primary emblems. The Bull is her go-to animal or transportation (Nandi). According to Hinduism, the Sapta Matrikas are most frequently depicted in tandem and stand for the human passions that need to be conquered and subdued in order for Hindus to go forward into Sri Chakra. The Sapta Matrikas regard every desire as a facet of Devi (Goddess), which they subsequently absorb. Once they have assimilated every god, they *become* Her, meaning that She is no longer distinct from them. They conquer every passion in this way, just as they conquered every siddhi in the first enclosure wall. Anger is the passion Maheshwari stands for in this process. Typically, images of Goddess Maheshwari show her with four arms: two in the Varada Mudra (fulfilling wishes), one in the Abhaya Mudra (protection), and two holding the Sula (lance) and either an Akshamala or a Damaru. This white-cheeked, three-eyed goddess, known as Trinetra, possesses many of Shiva's symbols and attributes. Among her six arms are a Trishula (trident), a Damaru (drum), an Akshamala (bead garland), a Panapatra (drinking vessel), an axe, an antelope, a kapala (skull bowl), a serpent, and bracelets depicting him holding two hands in the Varada and the Abhaya mudra. She is sometimes depicted with a jaṭā mukuṭa (a headdress made of piled, matted hair) and a crescent moon. There are a few extremely uncommon depictions of Goddess Maheshwari that show with five faces.
