Bahadabibi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bahadabibi is a Hindu goddess and folk diety in Bengal, worshipped in conjunction with the Goddesses Oladevi (the Goddess of Cholera), Ajgaibibi, Chandbibi, Jholabibi, Jhetunebibi and Asanbibi. It is believed by some experts and researches that these seven deities are transmogrifications of Vedic deities, namely Brahmi, Maheshvari, Vaisnavi, Varahi, Indrani and others.[1] Their collective worship is evidenced in prehistoric times by a terracotta relic found at Mohenjodaro, a major city of the Indus Valley Civilisation located in Sindh shows the image of seven women standing together.[1]
