Introduction to Deities and a Focus on the Devī
Introduction to Indian deities: origins, significance, key mythical cycles, iconography, cults, and developments.
This first session serves as a fundamental introduction to the vast panorama of Indian deities, exploring their historical origins, profound meanings, and key mythological cycles that have shaped India’s religious imagination. Through a careful analysis of iconography, cults, and their evolution over time, the seminar will lay the theoretical and conceptual foundations for navigating the complexity of the Hindu pantheon, paving the way for a detailed exploration of the forms, texts, and epiphanies of the divine feminine that will be developed in subsequent sessions of the series.
