Historical Usage
Deepani is the name of a queen in the Indian epic Mahabharata. She was the wife of King Virata of Matsya Kingdom and was known for her exceptional beauty and kindness. During the exile of the Pandava brothers, they disguised themselves as servants in Virata's kingdom. Deepani mistook Bhima in disguise for the mighty Bhima and offered him her own bed. Bhima, however, declined her offer and slept on a bed of kusha grass. Impressed by his humility, Deepani was won over by Bhima and they became friends.
circa 400 BCE
Deepani is also the name of a Hindu goddess, particularly worshipped in the Madhya Pradesh region of India. She is believed to be a form of the goddess Parvati and is worshipped for her blessings on child marriage and married life. Deepani Puja is celebrated on the 13th day of the Hindu calendar month of Chaitra (March–April).
