Chandbibi

Chandbibi (চাঁদবিবি) is a Hindu goddess and folk deity in Bengal, worshipped in conjunction with the goddesses Oladevi (the goddess of Cholera), Ajgaibibi, Jholabibi, Bahadabibi, Jhetunebibi and Asanbibi.^[1]

Experts and researchers believe that these seven deities are transmogrifications of Vedic deities.^[2] Their collective worship is evidenced in prehistoric times by a terracotta relic found at Mohenjo-daro, a major city of the Indus Valley civilisation located in Sindh, which shows the image of seven women standing together.^[2]
