Dyuttidhara (द्युतिधरा, IAST: Dyutidhārā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who bears and radiates resplendent divine light”. From dyuti (brilliance, radiance) and dhārā (bearing, holding), this name proclaims Lalitā as the perpetual carrier of transcendent luminosity that illumines all worlds.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Dyuti in Sanskrit encompasses both external luminosity and the inner fire of spiritual awakening; it is the quality by which the Goddess outshines the sun, moon, and stars combined. Dhārā, meaning one who holds or sustains, elevates this beyond mere brightness — she does not merely shine but actively bears light as her inherent nature and sovereign duty. This name thus captures the cosmological reality that all light in creation flows from and returns to her.

As an epithet of Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī, Dyutidhārā appears in the Sahasranāma to glorify her as the primordial source of illumination. The name works beautifully as a given name for a girl; it is pronounced dyoo-ti-DHAA-raa, with stress on the third syllable.
