I found some intriguing 1995 postings on the Web from this newsgroup
regarding Hindu goddesses, the fact that they are all manifestations of
one God, information on Lalita the Playful, Ambika, etc.
I'm going to be reading up on all of this--fortunately there are 77
books at Harvard that have been assigned the subject heading "Goddesses,
Hindu"--but since there are apparently already some experts here, I
thought I'd pose my question here as well:
If a British family living in Bombay during WWII were to bring an enamelled
Hindu goddess figurine back home to England at the end of the war, which
goddess might that most likely be? (Or could it just be a "generic"
goddess, since they are all part of the one God?)
This is impossible to determine with certainty, but I'd be interested
in your educated guesses. Anyone out there have vintage Hindu goddess
figurines at home?
Thank you kindly.
