The Mahavidyas represent some or other incarnation or manifestation of the Divine Mother. They are in this sense also to be regarded as Vidyas or different approaches to (tantric) knowledge. The Mahavidyas are ten particular forms of the Divine Mother, in which she represented herself in different yugas and on different occasions and her forms before she again became Uma, the wife of Lord Shiva.
The 10 Mahavidyas are Kali, Tara, Tripur Sundari (Shodashi or Shri), Bhuvaneshwari, Tripur Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagli Mukhi (Valga), Matangi and Kamla.
