GODDESS AMBIKA: 
She is the Goddess of Autumn and Harvest. Some of the innumerable names of Durga are Amba, Ambika or Ambika Devi. She is variously addressed as Amra, Kusmandini, or Simvahini. In her mula-mantra she is addressed as Amra-Kusmandini. Mother Ambika belongs to the Shakti cult. In Brahmanical mythology, Ambika is generally the name of Parvathi, consort of Siva. In the
Amarakosa, Goddess Ambika has three meanings; the name of Parvathi, the Mother Goddess Devi, and the mother of Dattatreya. In the Rigveda the sense of �mother� is expressed by Amba or Ambitama. Also in the Rigvedic age, Goddess Ambika was
the Mother Goddess.
