Vishalakshi (विशालाक्षी, IAST: Viśālākṣī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She with wide, all-seeing, radiant eyes”. From viśāla (vast, expansive) and akṣī (eyes), this name celebrates Lalitā's large and luminous gaze that encompasses all of creation with grace and omniscience.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Viśāla conveys breadth and grandeur, while akṣī refers to the eyes as organs of divine perception. The Goddess's wide eyes symbolize not only physical beauty but an all-encompassing awareness that misses nothing in the three worlds.

Viśālākṣī is also a celebrated Śakti pīṭha name, particularly associated with the shrine in Varanasi. Pronounced vi-shaa-laak-shee, this is a timeless and widely beloved name for Hindu girls.
