Shakambhari

Shakambhari

Shakambhari, also referred to as Shatakshi, is the goddess of nourishment. She is regarded as a form of Mahadevi, and identified with Durga in Hinduism. After the malevolent asura Durgamasura deprived the earth of nourishment by causing the sages to forget the Vedas, the goddess appeared to offer human beings and devas sufficient fruits and vegetables to restore their strength.
