Deities
Meet the deities of Hindu devotion — their stories, symbolism, and the mantras, chalisas and aartis dedicated to each.
What a deity's own page covers
Each deity page here goes beyond a short description — it includes a full parichay (introduction) covering who the deity is, their parentage and family, key stories and symbolism, and where they fit within the wider pantheon, along with every mantra, chalisa, aarti and stotra dedicated to them gathered in one place. Shri Hanuman and Shri Shani Dev are good examples of how much a single deity page can hold.
Why names carry an honorific
Deities are shown with a respectful prefix — Shri for gods, Maa for goddesses — in their display name, even though the URL itself stays a plain, clean slug (such as /bhakti/durga for Maa Durga). This reflects how devotees actually refer to them in speech and writing, without complicating navigation.
Ten deities, and growing
The gallery currently covers Hanuman, Shiva, Krishna, Ram, Ganesh, Durga, Lakshmi, Vishnu, Saraswati and Shani Dev — the deities most widely worshipped in daily Hindu practice — with more being added as their content is verified and written.
Where to go from a deity's page
Each deity page links onward to every piece of content connected to them, organised by type (mantra, chalisa, aarti and so on), so once you find a deity you're drawn to, you can explore everything related to them without leaving that thread.
