Summary
| Description |
English: The image of Ambikā at Kalugumalai (Figure 10) clearly displays the attributes commonly associated with this goddess, namely the mango tree (seen over her proper left shoulder), her two male children, and the lion. Furthermore, Ambikā is presented as a two-armed goddess and stands with her right hand resting on the head of a small female
attendant. The enigmatic male figure on her proper right has been identified as Ambikā’s agitated husband prior to his transformation into a vāhana. Significant to note is that Ambikā is depicted, like Padmāvatī, as an independent goddess and not as a subsidiary attendant (śāsanadevī) to the Jina Neminātha. Out of the approximately one hundred and fifty images at Kalugumalai, only two are goddesses. The remaining reliefs (with the exception of two representations of Gommaṭeśvara) depict standing or seated Tīrthaṅkaras.
