Hariti

Hariti
Hariti
 
[Sanskrit »die (Kinder) Stehlende«], volkstümliche indische Göttin wahrscheinlich ursprünglich dämonischer Natur (Pockengöttin), die als Fruchtbarkeits- und Muttergöttin besonders in Nordindien in den Buddhismus integriert wurde. Skulpturen der Gandharakunst und aus Ajanta zeigen sie von Kindern umgeben. Häufig wird Hariti auch zusammen mit ihrem männlichen Partner Pancika dargestellt, wobei beide - für die indische Kunst selten - gleichberechtigt nebeneinander thronen.
