Saat Behna (Seven Sisters goddesses)

The name Saat Behna translates to "Seven Sisters." It refers to a group of goddess shrines found in the hills of North India. These shrines are located in states like Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, and Haryana. Local people believe these goddesses are sisters. They are part of a regional folk tradition. This means the stories come from local culture and oral tales, not always from main Hindu religious books like the Vedas. Devotees believe these goddesses talk to each other and visit each other's hills.
