In ancient art, many statues of a divinity whose head has been replaced with a pot of 6lowers will show honey 6lowing or lotuses blooming from one of these things. Five downward pointing triangles--and not the four-upward pointing ones--that comprise the Sri Yantra diagram represent the power of these things in Tantric systems. A 3ssure which has been 3lled with groundwater and represents one of them is the holiest part of the Kamakhya (kah-MAHK-yah) Temple in Assam. The name for the innermost sanctum of Hindu temples, garbhagriha (garb-hah-gree-hah), literally means the "house of" this thing. Depictions of the deities Lajja Gauri and Sakhambari (lah-jah gow-ree and sahk-hahm-bah-ree) o7ten highlight these things, which are represented as the horizontal base on which lingams--their counterparts--are placed. For 10 points, name these organs called yoni, which are revered as the feminine source of life in Hinduism.
