Description

Yogini Vrishanana 10-11 century A.D.

Yogini's adventures: "The exquisite 10th-century stone sculpture of “Vrishanana Yogini” was stolen from an unprotected ancient temple at the Lokhari village in the Banda district of UP, and found its way to France. It has now come back to be a prized possession of the National Museum in Delhi, thanks to the family of late French art collector Robert Schrimpf, who had acquired it after it reached France. <a href="http://www.deccanherald.com/content/357824/10th-century-yogini-sculpture-returns.html" rel="nofollow">www.deccanherald.com/content/357824/10th-century-yogini-s...</a>

"How the deity returned home The Vrishanana Yogini's sculpture was trafficked to France and acquired by Robert Schrimpf -- a private collector in Paris. Later, his widow, Martine Schrimpf, gave back the idol to the Indian embassy in Paris. Then early this year [2013], Culture Minister Chandresh Kumari Katoch saw the sculpture on a visit to Paris and asked National Museum to bring it back home."
