Chaitanyarghyasamaradhya (चैतन्यार्घ्यसमाराध्या, IAST: Caitanyārghyasamārādhyā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is worshipped with the arghya of pure consciousness”. From caitanya (consciousness), arghya (sacred offering of water), and sam-ārādhyā (perfectly worshipped), this name reveals that the highest worship of Lalitā is offered not with mere water but with the luminous awareness of the devotee's own awakened consciousness.

Meaning, etymology & significance

This compound name unites three profound concepts: caitanya, the living, self-luminous awareness that is Brahman itself; arghya, the ceremonial offering presented to an honoured deity; and samārādhyā, one who is truly and completely worshipped. Together they declare that the Devī receives the most perfect adoration when a devotee offers their very consciousness — purified and made radiant — as the sacred gift at Her lotus feet.

As an epithet of Śrī Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī, this name appears in the Lalitā Sahasranāma and conveys the non-dual vision of Śākta Tantra. Due to its considerable length it is best appreciated as a devotional epithet; the short form Chaitanya is the practical given name drawn from it.
