Shrikari (श्रीकरी, IAST: Śrīkarī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who bestows Śrī — auspiciousness, wealth, and beauty”. From Śrī (divine grace, prosperity, beauty) and karī (feminine form of kara, one who makes or bestows), Śrīkarī identifies Lalitha as the very source of all radiance, fortune, and sacred glory.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Śrī is perhaps the most auspicious syllable in the Sanskrit tradition, encompassing beauty, prosperity, divine grace, and the presence of the goddess herself. Combined with karī, this name proclaims Lalitha as she who actively creates and showers Śrī upon all existence. In the Śrīvidyā upāsanā, her very name Śrī is the seed-sound of the entire tradition, making Śrīkarī a name of profound theological depth.
This epithet of Lalitha Parameśvarī also resonates with the names of Śrī Lakṣmī, the goddess of Śrī herself. The name is pronounced śrī-ka-rī, with the initial Śrī carrying the weight of sacred invocation.
Scriptural source
Shrikari appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
