Indradhanuḥprabha (इन्द्रधनुःप्रभा, IAST: Indradhanūḥprabhā) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose radiance resembles the rainbow”. Indradhanu (rainbow, literally 'Indra's bow') and prabhā (radiance, luster) together paint a vision of Lalitā emanating the full spectrum of divine light, brilliant and multicolored like a rainbow arc across the sky.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The rainbow in Vedic imagination is Indra's celestial bow, a symbol of divine beauty spanning the heavens. That Lalitā's own luminosity is likened to it suggests her splendor encompasses every color and quality of light, making her the complete expression of cosmic radiance.
This epithet of Śrī Lalitā beautifully captures the visual magnificence described in her dhyāna. Pronounced in-dra-dha-nuḥ-pra-bhā, it is somewhat long but its imagery is so vivid that it can serve as an evocative given name.
Scriptural source
Indradhanuḥprabha appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
