Bhagamalini (भगमालिनी, IAST: Bhagamālinī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Garlanded with divine auspiciousness and lordly splendour”. From 'bhaga' (divine fortune, auspiciousness, lordship) and 'mālinī' (she who wears a garland), this name crowns the goddess with a continuous wreath of every sacred excellence.
Meaning, etymology & significance
'Bhaga' is a richly multivalent Vedic word encompassing prosperity, glory, divine grace, and the six perfections attributed to the supreme Lord. 'Mālinī' evokes the image of garlands, sacred to Devī's worship, and suggests that these excellences hang about her like a fragrant offering never removed. In the Śrīvidyā system, Bhagamālinī is also the name of the third āvaraṇa devī of the Śrī Cakra, presiding over the outer lotus of sixteen petals.
This name honours Lalitā as she who adorns herself with and distributes all divine blessings; it is also an independent deity name within the Śrī Cakra's inner hierarchy. Pronounced 'Bha-ga-maa-li-nee', it is occasionally used as a traditional given name in South India.
Scriptural source
Bhagamalini appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
