In Ganga 3, the Devi is seated on a lotus - somewhat similar to the imagery used for Lakshmi. In many old images, the goddess is seated on an elephant headed fish: a mythical animal representing the aquatic (fish) and the regal aspect (elephant); a form of the amoebic Makara. She holds water pots, a conch and a चक्र (discuss); representing both benevolence and strength.
