In Hinduism, Manda ( Sanskrit: मान्दा, Māndā) or Dhamini ( Sanskrit: धामिनी, Dhāminī) is the second consort of Shani and mother of Gulikan. She is a gandharva princess and the most famous chief consort of Shani. Manda is mentioned as the divine regent of Saturn ( Shani) in India. [1]
Manda's mother Divyanka died when Manda was little. Divyanka sacrificed her life fighting an Asura serpent trying to save baby Manda. Chitraratha mourned her death. Chitraratha, Manda's father, named her after the snake Dhamina as Dhamini since he wanted to keep that memory alive. [2]
