Ommo
deity single tradition · 1
Ommo is a goddess labeled on Kushana-era images, holding both a lotus and a cornucopia—symbols of fertility and abundance. She may be more accurately identified with Śrī than with the more commonly assumed Uma, thus representing an early visual form of the goddess Lakshmi as she later appears in Puranic iconography. The depiction reinforces the idea of Lakshmi’s agrarian character.
