Female fertility worship was a universally accepted practice in ancient cultures. Almost all such cultures have yielded a good number of female figurines identified as the Mother Goddess. With society and culture developing in prehistoric times, such practices came into existence as part of social and ritualistic beliefs. Fertility worship as Mother Goddess worship became one of the important practices in the Neolithic and post-Neolithic cultures in India.
