The worship of Sakti (Mother Goddess) is almost a universal phenomenon and its manifestation is seen in different forms. Indian contribution has also been laudable and it is amply noticed through the figures of Mother Goddesses even from the pre Indus culture. This was followed in the subsequent ages throughout India and Varanasi being a great religious centre has also left an indelible imprint in this regard. This book incorporates a good number of papers on multiple aspects of Sakta traditions practised in Varanasi continuing from hoary past to date. Beside philosophical religious and cultural leanings the contents expose the iconographic ritualistic and artistic rendering of the divine mother. Kasi or Varanasi has been a stronghold of religious and spiritual fervour and several religious sects have contributed to its present texture. Saktism has also been a forceful current in the cultural stream of this holy city. This is evidenced by several Devi temples Sakti pithas yantras fairs and festivals associated with the worship of Mother Goddess. 148 pp.
