In Hinduism, Jagaddhatri or Jagadhatri (Bengali: ??????????, 'the Protector of the World') is a form of Devi, the supreme goddess. Her worship is more common in West Bengal than the other parts of India. Her cult is directly derived from Tantra where she is a symbol of sattva beside Durga and Kali, respectably symbolized with Rajas and Tamas.

In Tantra and Purana, Jagaddhatri is depicted as being the colour of the morning sun, three-eyed and four-armed, holding Chakra, conch, bow and arrow, clothed in red, bright jewels and nagajangopaveeta, a symbol of Yoga and the Brahman. She rides a lion standing on the dead Karindrasura, the Elephant Demon. "Jagaddhatri arises in the heart of a person," said Sri Ramakrishna, "who can control the frantic elephant called mind."

Though she is worshipped all over West Bengal, Jagaddhatri Puja in Chandannagar, Hoogly, Rishra, Tehatta and Krishnanagar, Nadia is a special socio-cultural celebration in this region. In Kolkata, too, Jagaddhatri Puja is a major autumnal Hindu event after Durga Puja and Kali Puja. In Ramakrishna Mission, Jagaddhatri Puja was initiated by Sarada Devi, Sri Ramakrishna's wife who was, according to popular Bengali belief, an avatar of Devi and observed in the centres of the Mission all over the world.

@ Deboleena, read Durga Saptashati's Murti Rahasya. Mahishasur mardini Durga has 18 hands. This is Mahalakshmi's charitra's form.
All the remaining Asuras were killed by Durgama who appeared having 8 hands. This is MahaSaraswati's charitra's form.
Mahakali's charitra has her form with 10 hands.
Kalika who appeared from Ambika has 4 hands.

Yes Absoloutely..
Even Maa Durga Is worshiped very frequently in Odisha too :)
As I am from Odisha.. Here Durga Puja.. is observed for 16 days..
called Sodadinatmaka Puja
it starts from tone day after of Mulastami [ Fortunately My Birthday Falls on that day according tithi 😉 ]
then it winds up on the 16th day thats called as Dushehra ... :) as per my knowledge...

@ Sohini...
yup it would be very good if they show Maa durga During Durga Puja 😊

In Mumbai the Durgama's idols have 18 hands with Mahishasur at her feet with Ganeshji etc, like in Bengal. This is in big pandals. This is worshipped in Bengali style, but is brought on 1st day of Navratri till Dashera.

At many places her 8 handed form sitting on Lion is also brought, (I'll post pics of both during Navratri.) There are dfferent versions at each place. Let them show whatever version they want but let it be perfect.
