Have always found the Yoginis a fascinating aspect of Indian history, the isolation of their shrines adding to the theme. And now, artist Seema Kohli has created a Yogini sculpture exhibition at Sunder Nursery heritage park, around a Lotus Pool. ImageImageImageImage
Traditions survive, evolve over time. Like Gauri - also called Ksemankari & Ajita. Depicted as a 9th cen Yogini sculpture (replica) frm Hirapur, #Odisha. Contemporary Gujarat has Khodiyar Mata, a goddess whose shrine is a stepwell. Both have a croc as vehicle. The same goddess? ImageImage
And guess which creature happened to enter the Khodiyar Mata ni vav one day. A crocodile, which got mighty upset when locals put vermilion on it. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vadodara/…
