Inhaltsangabe

The Mah¿vidy¿s are the representative Tantric feminine pantheon consisting of ten goddesses. It is formed by divergent religious strands & elements: the m¿t¿ & yogin¿ worship, the cult of K¿l¿, the Brahmanical strand of Puranic traditions, etc. This volume explores the historical process through which these traditions culminated in the Mah¿vidy¿ cult and the goddesses with different origins were brought into a cluster, with special reference to socio-political changes in the lower Gäg¿ and Brahmaputra Valley between the 9th and 15th centuries CE. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
