Her name, meaning "Holder of the World," reflects her role as a cosmic guardian, embodying wisdom and spiritual upliftment.

Today, Jagaddhatri Puja has become a community celebration marked by elaborate processions, striking light displays, and ornate idols of the goddess. This event is particularly renowned for the artistic pandals and the electric light displays in Chandannagar, where the celebration echoes both local devotion and a shared cultural heritage.
