Prathingara Devi Bronze Sculpture Hand Made, Lost Wax Method
Puranas say different ways of origination of Maha Prathiyangara Devi. Some say that Prathiyangara Devi emerged out from the third eye of Sarabheswara (manifestation of Lord Shiva) with 1,008 lion faces, 2,016 hands and a blood-stained tongue protruding out. She helped to reduce the ferocity of Lord Narashima. While the other say that when all the Gods were helpless to pacify Lord Narashima , the three Goddess Parvathi Devi, Saraswathi Devi and Lakshmi Devi created Prathiyangara Devi and sent to fierceful Lord Narashima, who was destroying the whole world after he extinguished the demon King Hiraniyakasipu. When Prathiyangara Devi sat on Lord Narashima´s thigh he was calmed down.
Some believe that in ancient time when two rishis ,Prathiyangira and Angiras ,were meditating discovered a goddess through a Moola Mantram who was nameless. Later she privileged the rishis by naming her after them and hence she was called as Prathiyangara Devi.
Narasimhika is her another name.´Naran´ means human and ´Simha´ means Lion, so she appears with Lion´s face and human body.It is also said that she has destroyed the arrogance of the Shiva´s ugra avatar ´Sarabhewara´. It is believed that when Narashimhika shakes her mane ,she shambles the stars in the universe.
