Durga Saptashati Manuscripts
Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA)
Facilitated by Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA) and the Ministry of Culture in India, the Durga Saptashati Manuscripts represent a core pillar of the Hindu culture and faith. These precious religious texts describing the Goddess as the supreme power and creator of the universe have now been digitally preserved for eternity. Dating back to between 400 and 600 C.E, the Durga Saptashati (also known as the Devi Mahatmya) is one of the earliest texts from the Hindu traditions that describe the feminine aspect of God.
