Category:Saptamatrikas
The Saptamatrikas are seven mother goddesses of Hinduism. They reflect its Shakta-tradition. Already mentioned in Vedic literature (pre-7th century BCE), the earliest surviving sculpture and artwork have been found from the Kushana era (c. 2nd to 3rd century CE) in Mathura. Sculpture of five of the seven matrikas from the 4th century survive in the repeatedly rebuilt Bagh Bhairava temple at Kirtipur Nepal, according to the scholar Katherine Harper. Their reliefs have been found with inscriptions in early Indic scripts in Madhya Pradesh sites such as those at Udayagiri and Badoh Pathari from the 5th-century, Karnataka, Kerala, Odisha and all over India by about the 6th century. The Badoh-Pathari site has the oldest surviving complete relief of Saptamatrikas with standard iconographic features found all over India.
