Who is Goddess Dhumavati?
Goddess Dhumavati is one of the ten Mahavidyas and holds the seventh position. Devotees worship her to remove poverty and bring wealth, happiness, and success. In Tantric practices, people invoke her for maran (destruction) and uchchatan (banishment) rituals. Her blessings neutralize Ketu’s malefic effects. She protects her devotees from enemies, diseases, and all forms of suffering.
How Did Goddess Dhumavati Originate?
One legend says that Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva were roaming Mount Kailash when Parvati felt hungry. Shiva asked her to wait, but her hunger intensified. In desperation, she swallowed Shiva. Due to Shiva’s poisonous nature, Parvati’s form turned smoky and distorted. This form became known as Goddess Dhumavati. Another story tells that when Devi Sati immolated herself at her father’s yajna, the smoke from her body took the form of Dhumavati. She is often depicted as a widow goddess, and in some regions, married women avoid viewing her form.
