What does Durga represent?

Durga Devi represents the combined power of all the Devas. When Devas were ousted from e Swarga by Mahishasura, their anger came out of their bodies, merged together, and became a mountain of fire. This later assumed a feminine form as Durga Devi. She manifested to eliminate the evil Mahishasura and protect the Devas.

Why is clay idol used in Vinayak Chaturthi Puja?

Ganesha Purana prescribes the use of only clay idols in Vinayaka Chaturthi Puja. Sanatana Dharma is very sensitive about nature and the ecosystem. Vinayaka Chaturthi idols are to be immersed after the Puja. So ideally it has to be a material soluble in water. You can imagine the situation if thousands of wooden or metal idols are immersed in water every year. Moreover, Veda says that the earth was originally made up of clay. Clay was the prime material at the time of creation. That is yet another reason for prescribing clay.
