Abstract

Mother Goddess worship plays an important role in bringing about a great change in culture. Women are prioritized in determining relationships, property rights, and marriage. Literature and historical documents confirm this, sculptures and inscriptions have been found in Tamil Nadu to show that Isakhyamman was a female deity during the Jain period. The practice of worshiping them under many names as household deities, ethnic deities, clan deities, village deities, guardian deities, boundary deities, and tribal deities has been going on since then till today.
