It is customary to decorate Devi as SakambariIt is said that in times of famine, Goddess Durga comes down and gives vegetarian food, (shaaka comes from Sanskrit. means vegetables and vegetarian food. Ambari means one who wears or bears) , to the hungry. That is why she is called "Shaka" + "Ambari" = 'Shaakambhari'. Actually Shakambhari comes from Shakam joined with the root Bhri(Shaka = vegetables or food and root bhri = to nourish)
