The matrikas are 'mother goddesses' usually depicted as a group of seven - Indrani, Brahamani, Maheshvari, Kaumari, Varahi, Vaishnavi and Chamunda. They embody the energies of male gods and were created by Devi, the Great Goddess, to combat demons. They are usually seen on temple doorways, depicted with a form of Shiva and his son, Ganesha.
