Synopsis

The Mahāvidyās are the representative Tantric feminine pantheon consisting of ten goddesses. It is formed by divergent religious strands & elements: the mātṛ & yoginī worship, the cult of Kālī, the Brahmanical strand of Puranic traditions, etc. This volume explores the historical process through which these traditions culminated in the Mahāvidyā cult and the goddesses with different origins were brought into a cluster, with special reference to socio-political changes in the lower Gaṅgā and Brahmaputra Valley between the 9th and 15th centuries CE.
