Sri Maha Varahi Devi, a powerful goddess with a boar face, was born from Sri Lalitha’s arrows and led the divine army into battle. She rode a special chariot pulled by 1000 boars, accompanied by various gods and goddesses, including those of medicine. Varahi had different mounts and was praised with twelve names during her march to war. When the enemy used magical weapons, Varahi and her team prayed to Sri Lalitha for help. On the third day, Varahi cleverly used the Liquor Sea to quench the enemy’s thirst and eventually defeated the enemy commander-in-chief with her plough and pestle. Her chariot moved in harmony with the Sri Chakra and Geya Chakra, showcasing the coordinated effort in the divine battle.
