In the Kanda Purana, which had the story of Surapadman and Simhamukha along w/ Taraka, when Simhamukha was killed by Kartikeya, he was blessed that he'd serve Kali as her mount. So question is - what is Kali's mount - is it a tiger, or something else?

Also, Durga's mount is a lion, but does Parvati have the mount of tiger or lion? That's what Wiki lists, but I don't recall seeing Parvati on any mount. Lakshmi's is the owl and Saraswati's the swan, so shouldn't Parvati have some sort of bird as a mount? Maybe those pigeons? 😆

If consider all separately, Parvati has Tiger as her vahan and in durga form has Lion and Jackel for Kali, again tiger for Chandraghanta and kushmanda. Kushmanda is the main Adi shakti and as it has tiger, so was a tiger shown. Lion is also for Kaushiki. Lion mostly seen with warrior goddess and tiger with both as in Parvati is still considered a human only even after acquiring adi shakti and tiger is her vehicle to travel
