Produktinformationen zu „Change, Continuity and Complexity (ePub)“

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