SANTOSHI MATA

Santoshi Mata is one of the most popular manifestation of Durga, the Universal Mother, mostly worshipped in this form by the common populace as the warder of evil, especially disease, pestilence, epidemic, etc. She is also the bestower of opulence, welfare and prosperity to devotees. In almost all the villages of the country, we could see a temple dedicated to Her, and often the shrine is located in some elevated and sanctified place as the top of a hillock, a forested area, and the like. Special occasions observed as hallowed moments in her honour are times of fast, worship and even vigil in certain communities. The Deity is conceived as a handsome and charming figure, attracting veneration and awe at the same time, love and fear combined. She is a blend of Durga, Lakshmi and Sarasvati.
