Imma Ramos is a Ph.D. student at the University of Cambridge. Her research explores the importance of art, ritual, myth, sacred geography and iconography in places of worship consecrated to the Hindu goddess Shakti, known as Shakti Pithas: Kalighat and Tarapith in West Bengal and Kamakhya in Assam. These are three of many temple complexes that were built on sites where parts of the goddess’s body fell, scattered across the subcontinent.
