Santoshi Mata is a revered Hindu goddess, often associated with contentment, satisfaction, and family harmony. Emerging as a widely worshipped deity in the 20th century, particularly in North India and Nepal, Santoshi Mata gained popularity through oral traditions and religious films, most notably the 1975 Bollywood movie Jai Santoshi Maa. Devotees commonly revere her as a bringer of peace and satisfaction in the household. The primary ritual for her worship involves observing the "vrat," or fasting ritual, which is typically undertaken on Fridays. Devotees, mostly women, pray for personal happiness, family well-being, and overcoming hardship. During this ritual, participants avoid sour foods and offer Santoshi Mata a simple prasad of gram and jaggery, symbolizing devotion and simplicity. Her image typically depicts her holding a sword and sitting peacefully on a lotus, emphasizing her protective yet nurturing qualities.
