Sculpture on Flickr of the goddess Ambikā or Kūṣmāṇḍinī in the Rani Durgavati Museum, Jabalpur, in Madhya Pradesh. She is the yakṣī – female attendant deity – of the 22nd Jina Nemi, and is a protective goddess connected with children and fertility. The jewellery-bedecked statue was probably originally holding a small child on her left knee, though this part has been badly damaged.
