Summary
Description Statue of Matrikas found near Agam Kuan, Patna, 1895.jpg |
English:
Statue of Matrikas found near
Agam Kuan
built by Ashoka, Patna, 1895.
A. Cunningham wrote (after his 1879-80 tour), 'When I saw the two statues in the New Indian Museum at Calcutta, I then remembered that a broken statue of a similar kind was still standing at Agam Kua, just outside the city of Patna, adorned with a new head and a pair of roughly marked breasts, so as to do duty for the great goddess Mata-Mai...The Agam Kua is a very large and very old brick well...The broken figure is said to have been found in this well, and it seems probable therefore that the two statues were also found either at or near the same place."
