The word Siddhi means "success or perfection" and the word dhatri refers to the awarder. Siddhidhatri is the goddess who is the awarder (giver) of Siddhis. Siddhis are also the supernatural powers.

By worshipping this form of goddess, one can get the perfection and purity of the soul.

Story of Siddhidhatri

Once, there was nothing in the universe. Kushmanda Devi created the cosmic egg through the radiance of her smile. Then, she created the Trimurtis. She also provided the duty of creating, preserving and destroying to Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

But, Lord Shiva approached Devi Kushmanda for more perfection in the universe. So, Kushmanda Matha created Siddhidhatri Devi. By worshipping Siddhidhatri Matha, Shiva got all the siddhis. In addition to the ashtasiddhis (eight supernatural powers), she also provided Shiva with eighteen siddhis. Then, lord shiva get the rare and powerful eighteen powers with perfection.

For rather more perfection, she became half of Shiva's body and this form is called as Arthanaadheeswarar.

Ashatasiddhis are Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakamya, Ishitva and Vasitva.

Anima- the ability to reduce the size of the body even smaller as the size of atom.

Mahima- the ability to expand the size of the body to the infinitely large size.

Garima- the ability to become very heavy.
