Miranda Shaw provides a comprehensive examination of the female deities within the Buddhist pantheon of India. Drawing on a vast array of Sanskrit texts and archaeological evidence, the work traces the evolution of these figures from their early manifestations to their central roles in tantric practice and philosophy. This scholarly volume illuminates the complex theological landscape of Indian Buddhism through the lens of gender and divine iconography.
