Hariti Name Details

Hariti is primarily known as a Buddhist goddess or deity in ancient Indian and Nepalese traditions. She is often depicted as a motherly figure and is revered for her protective and nurturing qualities. Hariti is believed to have started as a malevolent demoness who would steal and devour children. However, after meeting with the Buddha, she transformed into a compassionate being who became known as the protector of children, fertility, and childbirth. Hariti's worship spread throughout Asia, particularly in Buddhist cultures where she is still venerated today. The name Hariti reflects both her benevolent nature and association with fertility and growth.
