According to different days i.e. during Navratri, the vehicles of Maa Durga are doli, boat, horse, buffalo, human, and elephant.

What will be the vehicle of Mata Rani this Navratri?
This time Sharadiya Navratri is starting on Sunday and when Navratri starts from Sunday then the vehicle of the Mother Goddess is an elephant. The arrival of Mother Goddess riding on an elephant indicates more rain.

Mata rides and their importance
According to the belief, if Navratri starts from Monday or Sunday then the vehicle of Maa Durga is an elephant, which indicates more rain. Whereas if Navratri starts on Tuesday and Saturday, then the mother's vehicle is a horse, which indicates change of power. Apart from this, starting from Thursday or Friday, Maa Durga comes sitting in a doli which indicates bloodshed, orgy, loss of people, and wealth. When Navratri starts on Wednesday, Maa comes riding on a boat. Mother's arrival on a boat is auspicious.

Maa Durga's departure rides and their signs
If Navratri ends on Sunday and Monday, then Maa Durga rides on a buffalo, which is not considered auspicious. This means that mourning and diseases will increase in the country. When Navratri ends on Saturday and Tuesday, Mother Jagdambe goes riding on the cock. Riding a rooster indicates an increase in sorrow and suffering. When Navratri ends on Wednesday and Friday, the mother returns on an elephant, which indicates more rain. Apart from this, if Navratri ends on Thursday then Maa Durga rides on a human being, which indicates an increase of happiness and peace.
