Abstract
Abstract This chapter explores Hindu goddess traditions that migrating Hindus perpetuate outside of India. The chapter is divided into three sections. The first section of the chapter explores Hindu goddess temples in diaspora; the second section explores diaspora Hindus’ public and domestic rituals honouring the Goddess; and the last section explores diaspora Hindus’ experiences of goddess possession and female gurus whom devotees consider to be living forms of the Goddess. The chapter examines the many ways that Hindu goddess devotees both reproduce and revise Indian Hindu goddess traditions as they move around the globe and adapt their traditions of goddess reverence to their new homelands.
