Yakshi, Ca. 18th Century AD. Ca. 18th Century AD. Portraying

(23.5cm) H. Benjamin Rowland writes: “One of the most frequent
motifs of the Bharhut railing is the dohada, a woman or Yakshi
embracing a tree, usually a flowering sal. This is symbolism
that goes back to a period in Indian history when trees were
regarded as objects of worship, and is associated with old fertility
festivals, when youths and maidens gathered the flowers of the
sal tree. In Indian mythology, the yakshi is first and foremost
a fertility symbol. She is not only the bride of the tree, but
she stands for the sap of the tree, the life-fluid, and she may
therefore by association be interpreted as emblematic of the
life-fluid of all creation, as typified by the great waters,
in which all life was believed to have its origin. The male counterparts
of the yakshis, or yakshas, are also represented on the Bharhut
railing, and Kuvera, chief of the yakshas and guardian of the
north, is among the deities precisely identified by an inscription.”
