More from Hinduism

Abraham

Abraham (originally Abram) is the foundational patriarchal ancestor in the Hebrew Bible whose life establishes a covenantal relationship between his family/people and God. He functions as an exemplar of faith, the progenitor of promised descendants, and a narrative anchor for claims of land, blessing, and communal identity in later religious traditions.

Abraham (Ibrāhīm) in Islam

Ibrāhīm (Abraham) in Islam is a human prophet and messenger chosen by God, a paradigm of pure monotheism (hanīf), patriarchal ancestor to later peoples and prophets, and traditionally regarded as having helped establish the Kaʿbah with his son Ismāʿīl. He is called Khalīl Allāh ('Friend of God') and is central to rites commemorated in Hajj and Eid al‑Adha.

Adam (ʾĀdam)

In Islamic theology Adam (Arabic: آدم, ʾĀdam) is presented as the first human being and the first prophet (nabī), created by God from earth/clay, granted life by God's spirit, placed in a paradisal Garden, taught knowledge (the "Names"), tested by divine command, tempted by Iblīs, and ultimately sent to live and die on Earth while remaining eligible for repentance and forgiveness.

Adi (asura)

Adi is attested in modern reference works as the name of an Asura who 'appears in the Matsya Purāṇa.' Beyond this single-line citation in secondary sources, no descriptive material about the figure is provided in the supplied research notes.

Adi Shakti

Adi Shakti (also Adi Parashakti, Mahadevi, Adya Shakti) is the primordial feminine power in Hindu/Shakta theology, regarded as the ultimate reality (Para Brahman) and the source from which all goddesses and gods manifest. She is both an impersonal cosmic principle (Mulaprakriti) and a focus of devotional invocation in temples, mantras, and pilgrimage sites such as Shakti Peethas.

Adi Vinayaka

Adi Vinayaka (Ādi Vināyaka; also called Nara Mukha Vinayaka) is a named iconographic and devotional form of the Hindu god Ganesha portraying the deity with a human head, described in sources as the form before the episode of decapitation by Shiva. It is rarely worshipped and appears in a small number of South Indian shrines and in devotional/musical repertoires.

Aditi

Aditi is a major Vedic goddess in Hindu tradition who personifies the boundless, infinite cosmic principle and functions as the maternal matrix from which many celestial deities (the Ādityas and other groups) are born. In the Vedic hymns she is invoked as a protective liberator who guards petitioners, provides wealth and safety, and frees devotees from hindrances such as sin and sickness.

Agni

Agni is the Vedic personification of fire in Hindu tradition: a sacred, mediating principle that manifests as terrestrial fire, atmospheric lightning, and celestial sun, and that receives and conveys sacrificial offerings. Prominent in the Rigvedic corpus, Agni functions as sanctifier, witness of rites of passage, and a transformational inner principle in later Upanishadic literature.

Ahalya

Ahalya is a mytho-legendary woman of South Asian (primarily Hindu) narrative tradition, described as created by the god Brahma, married to the sage Gautama, seduced (or tricked) by Indra, cursed by her husband, and ultimately redeemed by Rama. Her tale is a locus for themes of creation, desire, curse/penance, and redemption and she is counted among the ritual-mnemonic panchakanya.

Aindri (Indrani / Shachi / Paulomi)

Aindri (commonly rendered in sources as Indrani, also called Shachi or Paulomi) is a Hindu goddess presented as the queen-consort of Indra. She is depicted in the available material as a courtly queen associated with beauty, pride and kindness who also appears in at least one account as an active martial participant in the devas' battles with asuras.

Akshayavata

In Hindu mythology, Akshayavata is a sacred banyan tree and/or lake that symbolizes eternal life. It is mentioned in both Hindu and Jain traditions and associated with the Puranas. (Note: - The power tier should be "Greater" or at least "Ancient", as it is associated with the Puranas, which are considered ancient texts. - No specific physical description is provided, but that doesn't m)

Alakshmi

Alakshmi is an inauspicious female supernatural figure in Hindu tradition, presented as the negation or shadow-counterpart of the prosperity-goddess Lakshmi. She personifies poverty, grief, jealousy and social discord and is managed in domestic ritual and festival practice.
