520 |a Saptamatirkas are the mother goddesses worshiped in iconic and aniconic forms in the temple of Kerala. The antecedence of the Saptamatrika worship in India can be traced from the Indus age. Saptamatrikas are represented in various literary texts of ancient and medieval India. Historically, the Saptamatrika worship may starts from the early medieval (probably 8 th century AD onwards) period in Kerala. Saptamatrikas are worshipping as chief deities in some of the temples in Kerala. They were worshiped as the protecting and tutelary deities. However, they are occurred in aniconic form in almost all temples of Kerala. The distribution pattern of the iconic form of saptamatrikas has shown that they are mainly distributed in the midland and lowland areas of Kerala, probably on the nearby areas of the itinerary trade routes. As they are mainly found in the early medieval and medieval trade routes, the Saptamatrikas must have worshipped as protecting deities in connection with production and distribution process of early medieval and medieval Kerala.
