Pretakshi Devi

Indian subcontinent

Pretākṣī is one of the sixty-four Yoginis in the Shakta-Tantric tradition of Hinduism. The name is a compound of preta and akṣī ("eye"), commonly interpreted as "She whose eyes are on the spirits" or "She who oversees the departed". She belongs to the circle of fierce, esoteric goddesses associated with cremation grounds, protection from malevolent spirits, and the acquisition of supernatural powers.
