Kaumari

Kandariya Mahadeva temple, Khajuraho

One of the Seven Mothers, Kaumari is associated with Skanda. She rides on Skanda's peacock, most of which can be seen (minus head) in this photo.

All seven of the Mothers are displayed in niches surrounding the base of the temple. Kaumari is located on the north face, west cluster. The iconography of this, and some of the other, temples is further discussed by Desai in her book on Khajuraho.
