The sculpture was discovered in the city of Dhār, central India, in the nineteeth century. The figure is famous for its inscription in Sanskrit on the base that provides a link to the Paramara dynasty and the court of king Bhoja (c. 1010–1055).[1] The Ambikā has been part of the British Museum's collection since 1909.[2]
