Yoginīhṛdayam

Vraj Vallabh Dwivedi

A monochrome, sepia-toned photograph depicts an ancient stone relief sculpture. The sculpture shows a standing female deity or Yogini in a slightly flexed (tribhanga) pose, set within a recessed niche. She is adorned with heavy necklaces and an ornate waist-belt (mekhala). The texture of the stone is weathered and grainy.
