介绍（中）	高丽女神被誉为杜尔迦善良一面的体现，她本人也是Parvati的化身，她的信徒们将其理解为女性吉祥的最高表现，有能力满足所有欲望，缓解世俗痛苦。她最普遍的形式是在纳瓦拉特里的第八个晚上（"夜"）受到表彰，在秋天的阿斯维纳月（9月至10月），在为期十天的节日中庆祝最重要的女神。但她以多种伪装被广泛崇拜，在村庄和小镇、寺庙和奉献者的家中以当地的名字被崇拜。这些庆祝活动采用了许多地区性的表达方式，女神的形象也采用了本地化的形式，通常借鉴特定社区的神话和传说。这些往往体现在本土表演传统中。这座雕塑在概念上的精致和执行上的独创性都非常出色，是一个很少研究的虔诚雕塑传统的罕见例子，很可能起源于卡纳塔克邦沿海地区。
介绍（英）	The goddess Gauri is celebrated as a manifestation of the benign aspect of Durga, herself an emanation of Parvati, and is understood by her devotees as the highest expression of female auspiciousness, with the power to fulfill all desires and grant relief from worldly sufferings. Most universal of her forms is that honored on the eighth night of Navaratri (‘nine-nights’), when the most important goddess are celebrated in the autumnal month of Asvina (September-October) in a ten-day festival. But she is widely worshipped in many guises, under local names in villages and small towns as well as in temple establishments and in the homes of devotees. These celebrations assume many regional expressions, as does the representation of the goddess who often assumes a localized form, typically drawing upon myths and legends specific to a given community. These often find expression in indigenous performative traditions. This sculpture is highly accomplished in both its conceptual sophistication and originality of execution, and is a rare example of a little studied devotional sculptural tradition, most probably originating in coastal Karnataka.
