Following are a series of Yantra-Mandalas that 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.
Also present is the Yantra of Durga, another very powerfull incarnation of the Divine Mother. And also the most famous of all yantras, Shri Yantra, with Shri Vidya being equal to Tripur Sundari Vidya and also being called the root vidya of all 10 Mahavidyas.
