Tridevi

Sculpture of Tridevi. From left to right: Sarasvati, Lakshmi and Parvati

The Tridevi[a] are a trinity of supreme divinity in Hinduism, joining a triad of eminent goddesses either as a feminine version of the Trimurti, or as consorts of a masculine Trimurti, depending on the denomination. This triad is typically personified by the Hindu goddesses Saraswati, Lakshmi, and Parvati.[1] In Shaktism, these triune goddesses are the manifestations of Mula-Prakriti or Mahadevi.[2]
