Book Summary
About the Book: Mother Goddesses In Kathmandu
"The iconography of Nepalese Hinduism is essentially the same as that of Indian
Hinduism. There are, however, some important differences between them. One of
the most important difference is that Nepalese Hinduism emphasizes the Eight
Matrkas: and the Eight Bhairavs. In the Kathmandu Valley one can find many
temples which possess the relics or struts depicting the Eight Matrkas:
Mahalaksmi, Brahmayani (Skt.; Brahmani), Kaumari, Vaisnavi, Indrayani (Skt.,
Indrani), and Varahi.
"These images have been kept in good condition; the vehicles of the Matrkas can
be clearly seen, and most of the symbols held in their hands have been
preserved.
