Introducing a stunning picture of Santoshi Mata, the Hindu goddess of happiness and satisfaction (Santosh). Mainly worshipped in North India and Nepal, the goddess is relatively 'new' to Hindu culture. She was popularised around the 1960s, after the release of the Hindi hit film "Jai Santoshi Mata". In the film, the goddess is described as the daughter of Ganesha, and is connected to the Raksha Bandhan festival - however, these details are not mentioned in the sacred Hindu scriptures. Since the release of the movie, Santoshi Mata has become a very important deity in the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent, with many temples and households worshipping her.

This picture beautifully illustrates the goddess, with intricate detail and vibrant colours. Made with utmost care and bhakti, this wonderful image is an excellent addition to your home decor or pooja space. Buy now from Giri UK.
