An online companion to an exhibition of the same name at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, this new site explores the six aspects of the Indian Goddess Devi (cosmic force, dayini, heroine, local protector, semi-divine, and woman saints). With annotated images, brief texts, and numerous hyperlinked glossary terms, the exhibit provides background on the Great Goddess and her manifestations, her six aspects, and historic and modern interpretations and worship of Devi. Additional features include a For Kids section and related links.
