| Summary, etc | Sixty-Four Yoginis: Cult, Icons and Goddesses is a scholarly study of the mysterious Yogini cult, one of the most fascinating traditions within Shakta and Tantric Hinduism. Drawing upon archaeological evidence, historical sources, religious texts, folklore, and extensive field research, Anamika Roy explores the origins, evolution, and cultural significance of the Sixty-Four Yoginis, who are regarded as powerful manifestations of the Divine Feminine (Shakti). The book investigates the unique circular Yogini temples located across India, particularly in Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh, examining their architecture, sculpture, iconography, and ritual practices. It analyzes the portrayal of Yoginis in the Puranas, Tantric literature, local traditions, and oral narratives while discussing their relationship with esoteric worship, goddess traditions, and medieval religious movements. By integrating perspectives from archaeology, art history, anthropology, religious studies, and history, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of the Yogini tradition and its influence on Indian religious culture. The book is an important resource for researchers, postgraduate students, and scholars of Hinduism, Tantra, archaeology, art history, mythology, and gender studies. |
