Bhagaradhya (भगाराध्या, IAST: Bhagārādhyā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is worshipped through the sacred bhaga”. Bhaga (auspicious divine power; also the sacred feminine principle in Śākta ritual) + ārādhyā (she who is to be worshipped, the adorable one) reveals Lalitā as the supreme deity propitiated through the highest Śākta ritual of bhaga-worship.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Bhaga is a Vedic word denoting divine glory, fortune, and auspiciousness, and is also one of the six divine attributes of Viṣṇu enumerated in Viṣṇu Purāṇa; in Śākta tantra it additionally designates the sacred feminine source of creation. Bhagārādhyā therefore honors Lalitā as she who is most fittingly adored through this primordial, auspicious power — both as its possessor and as its ultimate object of veneration.
In tantric commentaries, this name is understood to affirm the legitimacy and sanctity of Śākta pūjā forms that honor the divine feminine in her most elemental aspect. Pronounced bhuh-gaa-RAAD-hyaa; the ā in ārādhyā carries a devotional lengthening that mirrors the Goddess's boundless grace.
Scriptural source
Bhagaradhya appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
