Here is an attempt to identify the herbs with different avataras of goddess Durga. As Indians are celebrating a festival called ‘Navaratri’ that includes nine different forms of goddess Durga mentioned in Markandeya purana. To all these nine avatars, respective herbs are selected from the Ayurveda granthas on the base of appearance of avatara and herbs description in Ayurveda classics.
