According to Hindu beliefs, Maa Durga changes her mode of transportation, besides the lion, who is her vital mount, she has four other Vahans- elephant, horse, boat, and a palanquin. The choice of her vehicle is important for the fate of mankind. If Maa Durga arrives or departs on an elephant, it means that by her blessings, your life will be filled with happiness and prosperity. It is considered auspicious and brings plenty of rainfall for bumper harvesting in the coming year. When she comes on a horse, it is not considered very auspicious and is believed to be an omen of war situations. If she comes on a boat, it indicates good harvest and floods as well. If the deity comes sitting in the doli, then there is a possibility of an epidemic. If she arrives and departs on the same vahanas, it means doomsday - it means mankind will have to face natural disasters, political unrest, and other social problems.
