Fertility goddesses of different types were an important component of early Indian nature cults and were eventually assimilated into the symbolic repertoire of later Indian religious art. These youthful, sensuous figures personify fertility, maternity, and Indian ideals of feminine beauty, various guises expressing different aspects of the female character––triumphant and fierce, as well as passive and dependent.
This delicately carved figure of a goddess, with its softly rounded forms and ornamentation, is typical of temple sculpture from the western Indian state of Rajasthan. The large size of the figure and attendants attest to her importance.
