Ancient Goddess Art

This page is dedicated to the Universal Goddess, who is known by many names, and has many forms in the ancient world. The most ancient concept, found in the Vaisnava scriptures, states that the original Goddess is Sri Radha. Other forms of the goddess, including the Mother form, the Empress form, the Priestess form and countless varieties of the youthful maiden form, are all emanations of Radha, displaying Her countless features and powers.

The first galleries below exhibit Her form found in the ancient west. The next display her forms in the far east, while the last gallery displays her original forms found in the most ancient Vedic tradition.
