Did the concept of Grama-Devis/Devatas ( local/folk deities )exist in the Yugas prior to Kaliyug?
1 Answer
The Brahma vaivarta Purana mentions the existence of Grāma devis.
Prakriti Khanda Chapter 1
There is also a mention of the Worship of a certain Grāma devi during the wedding of Rukmini.
Krishna janma khanda Chapter 105
So it certainly seems Grama devatas existed in earlier times as well.
