Kaumari
The sculpture Kaumari, is one of the Sapta Matrikas, the seven divine mother goddesses in Hindu tradition. As the Shakti (feminine energy) of Lord Skanda (Kumara), she is also known as Kartikeyani. Kaumari is shown with her sacred vahana, the peacock, symbolizing wisdom and agility, and holds a Vel, a small spear-like weapon associated with her divine power Kartikeya. This intricately carved sculpture embodies the spiritual and artistic essence of early Hindu tradition, capturing Kaumari’s protective and nurturing presence with remarkable craftsmanship.
