About the Book
This insightful iconological study, authored by a renowned scholar of art history, delves into the saptamatrka divinities—Brahmanical goddesses that form a collective group of seven (and occasionally eight or more) female deities, often depicted in association with various forms of Lord Shiva. The book explores the iconographic and theological significance of these goddesses, analyzing their representations across art and sculpture. By examining the symbolism and varying forms of these divine figures, the study sheds light on the evolution and regional variations in their worship, offering a profound understanding of their role in Hindu religious art. This work is invaluable for scholars and enthusiasts of Indian art, archaeology, and religious iconography.
