“Prati” (reverse) and “Angiras” (attack)- Pratyangira is the goddess who guards against the attack of enemies, seen and unseen.
A Teevra (ferocious) deity, goddess Pratyangira is a powerful Hindu-Tantric god, evoked as Atharvan-Bhadra Kali, the presiding deity of Atharva Veda and its chants.
In the Kalikrama Tantra, she is connected to a goddess called “Tvarita” (the quick one) and accompanies Narasimha as his Shakti.
Identified as Narasimhi and Simhamukhi by devotees due to her striking lion head, Pratyangria is represented as a potent mother goddess, riding a majestic lion, carrying damru, Trishul, severed head, and sarpa and is adorned with jewels and a garland of skulls, with a fiery aureole and serpent flanking her.
She is seated in Lalitasana, a reminder that she is also revered as the embodiment of the wrath of Lalila-Tripurasundari.
Sculpted in a rounded manner, the icon represents the femininity and formidability of Pratyangira, a goddess unparalleled.
