	In the [[Shaktism]] traditions of Hinduism, found particularly in eastern states of India, Durga is a popular goddess form of [[Adishakti]]. In the medieval era composed texts such as the Puranas, she emerges as a prominent goddess in the context of crisis, when evil [[asura]]s were on the ascent.
