Ratirupa (रतिरूपा, IAST: Ratirūpā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose form is Rati, the goddess of love and delight”. Composed of 'Rati' (the goddess of love, delight, and passionate devotion; also the consort of Kāma) and 'rūpā' (whose form, whose nature), this name declares that Lalitā's very form embodies the supreme principle of divine love and bliss.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Rati is the Goddess of love and pleasure in the Hindu tradition, the beloved consort of Kāmadeva, the god of desire. Her name is derived from the root 'ram' (to delight), denoting blissful union and the joy of love. When the Lalitā Sahasranāma calls the Goddess 'Ratirūpā', it declares that she is the very archetype of which Rati is only a partial expression — Lalitā is the form of supreme divine love itself.
Ratirūpā appears as an epithet of Lalitā Tripurasundarī, identifying her with the highest principle of divine ānanda (bliss) expressed as loving union. Pronounced 'Ruh-ti-roo-paa', it is an evocative name used occasionally in traditional contexts.
Scriptural source
Ratirupa appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
