Ayindri
Ayindri is one of many names of the Hindu goddess Durga. Maa Durga is worshipped in a festival in Kolkata, India, during the Sharad month of the Hindu calendar (generally September–October) every year.
The name is also mentioned in the popular Mahishasur Mardini recital by Birendra Krishna Bhadra, which is played every year at the dawn of Mahalaya, on Akashvani. In Bengali, the lyric goes '...kokkhono bajro rupini Ayindri..' (' ..when she takes the form of lightning she is Ayindri...').
Many believe that the name may have connections with the word Indra, the Hindu god of lightning.
The name Ayindri is sometimes given to a girl to signify strength and perseverance throughout her life.
