Vidrumabha (विद्रुमाभा, IAST: vidrumābhā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who shines with the radiance of red coral”. From vidruma (coral, lit. that which grows away from trees) and ābhā (radiance, luster), this name describes Lalitā's divine complexion glowing with the brilliant crimson splendor of precious coral.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Vidruma, literally meaning one who grows apart from wood, is the classical Sanskrit word for coral, prized for its vivid red hue. Ābhā denotes a surrounding glow or lustrous brilliance, often used to describe divine and gem-like radiance. Together, they paint a devotional portrait of the goddess whose very form shimmers with a warm, coral-red light that fills the worshipper's heart with awe and beauty.

This epithet of Lalitā Devī invokes her celebrated rosy-red complexion described throughout the Saundarya Laharī and the Lalitā Sahasranāma. Pronounced vid-ru-mā-bhā, keeping both long ā vowels distinct.
