Identified as the Hingol valley, the site is associated with Sati's brahmarandhra (Sanskrit word meaning the upper portion of the head).[1][2] Kottari is an alternative spelling of Kotavi, a naked and ferocious mythological mother figure and a possible prototype of Chhinnamasta.[1][3][4] The cave shrine of Hinglaj in Balochistan is the seat of the deity,[5][6][7] who is locally called Nani—suggested to be a variation of the ancient Eastern Iranian goddess Nana.[1][8] |
