The unusual and unique Dharti Mata literally translated as Earth Mother at the Bala Bhairav temple complex, Kirtipur, in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The inscription above the reclining figures head reads Dharti Mata in Newari. 19th early 20th century. This image is similar to earth mother idols of south india. Around her are the 3 figures of Vishnu, Bhrama, Mahadev (Shiva). The Idol is very important to the temple, and is worshiped as a goddess for fertility. There is likely some deeper secret significance, that is only revealed to tantric initiates, and kept secret by them. Elena Musumeci Alberto Camici Etruscilla lEtrusca
