thumb|Durga upon her lion mount, Dawon
Dawon also known as Somnandi is either a lion or a tiger that serves as the mount of the Hindu major goddess Durga in Hindu traditions. As Mother Durga fights with demon Mahishasura, she steps one feet on Somnandi and other feet on Mahishasura to kill him for the upliftment of dharma. According to some Hindu spiritual texts like Kalika purana, Somnandi or Mother Durga's lion is believed to be Vishnu himself.
