Ninniĝara

Ninniĝara

Ninniĝara was a Mesopotamian goddess. She was associated with the niĝar, presumed to be a special part of certain temples dedicated to deities such as Ninisina and Inanna. It has also been proposed that she was associated with birth, healing, or both of these spheres. She is attested in sources from the Early Dynastic period, such as the Fara god list and the Zame Hymns. The latter indicate her cult center was Kullaba, a district of Uruk. She continued to be worshiped in the Ur III period. However, in the Old Babylonian period her name started to be used as an epithet of other deities rather than a distinct theonym.
