In ancient sculptures, a goddess of war unique to Goa

A Goan researcher has unearthed evidence of Gajagauri, a unique war goddess, through ancient sculptures. Unlike Gajalaxmi, Gajagauri is depicted with weapons and an aggressive stance, suggesting a history of conflict in the region. Her worship, unique to Goa, signifies prosperity derived from victory, unlike Gajalaxmi's association with general prosperity.
