Rahoyagakramaradhya (रहोयागक्रमाराध्या, IAST: Rahoyāgakramārādhyā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is worshipped through the sequence of secret ritual”. From rahas (secret), yāga (sacred offering/ritual), krama (ordered sequence), and ārādhyā (worthy of worship), this name reveals Lalitā as she who is approached only through the disciplined, esoteric Tantra-pūjā.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The Śrī Vidyā tradition prescribes a precise kramamārga, a sequential path of inner ritual worship performed in the private sanctuary of the heart or the pūjā chamber, far from the uninitiated gaze. Rahoyāga refers to this confidential, initiatory mode of worship described in texts such as the Paraśurāma Kalpasūtra. The Goddess herself is called ārādhyā, the supreme goal and recipient of all such sacred offering.

This epithet belongs exclusively to Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī as the presiding deity of the esoteric Śrī Cakra pūjā. The compound is unsuitable as a standalone given name; a devotee might affectionately use Rahasya or simply Aradhya as the derived personal name.
