Goddess Durga's mode of journey to the Earth, her parents' home, is detailed in scriptures. Though Ma Durga lands on this world with her carriage lion but something must be there to act as her mode of transport from heaven to the surface of earth. Legends say it may be an elephant, a horse, palanquin or boat - all signify luck or omen which influence the life on earth. The elephant signifies prosperity and good harvest while journey on a horse back indicates drought, a palanquin spells wide spread epidemic and the boat suggests flood and misery. The mode differs from one year to another.
