Batari Durga is a terrifying goddess of the underworld, spirits and demons. Originally she was the beautiful Dewi Uma, but a curse transformed her into her demonic form. She lives in Setra Gandamayit and plays an important role in many stories, in which she bestows magical powers or gives tasks to those who dare to approach her. In some stories, she is able to regain her divine form.
