Her devotees can be traced back even earlier to the Ukraine c. 10,000 BCE. In India, new finds continue to expand the geographical spread of Lajjagauri's devotees, most recently to Odisa. Dhere's work on Lajjagauri is based on a tireless pursuit of her image throughout western India. In contrast to the other thousands of Indian goddesses whose images are super abundant, Lajjagauri has become more reclusive as other deities have risen. This work by the towering Marathi cultural specialist Ramcandra Cintaman Dhere is a unique and important study, painstakingly and lovingly translated here by Dr Jayant Bapat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894972416288,"sku":"NEW1925835243","price":38.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81kPBBlY9QL.jpg?v=1782028724","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-lajjagauri-and-anandanayaki-a-new-light-on-the-nature-and-worship-of-the-adi-mata-the-primordial-mother-monash-asia-series-1925835243","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
