PILGRIMAGE CONTEXT

Mahavidya and Shakti

Mahavidya refers to a tradition of forms of the Goddess understood as manifestations of divine knowledge. The survey places some of Kashi’s images in small rooms, mathas, or host temples. It records several forms with closely related names around Lalita Ghat and Pitamaheshwar. Use the individual names and addresses to tell those stops apart.
