Historical Usage
Joshini was a renowned Hindu queen of the Chalukya dynasty in the 10th century. She is best known for her role in the reinstatement of her husband, Tribhuvanamalla, as the ruler of the Chalukya empire. After his defeat in battle, he was taken as a prisoner to the eastern Chalukya kingdom. Joshini managed to secure his release by winning the heart of the enemy king, Jatavarman, and persuading him to free her husband.
10th century
Joshini was also a celebrated Hindu goddess and a form of the goddess Durga. She is depicted as having ten arms, each holding a different weapon, and is often identified with the goddess Kali. The name Joshini is believed to have derived from the Sanskrit words 'Jaya' (victory) and 'Shini' (goddess of war). Joshini is worshipped primarily in the southern states of India, especially in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
