![Shitala (Sanskrit: शीतला, IAST: śītalā, lit. 'coolness'; also spelled as Sheetala, Śītalā and Seetla) is a Hindu goddess venerated primarily in North India.[2] She is regarded as an incarnation of the goddess Parvati and is believed to cure poxes, sores, ghouls, pustules, and diseases, and most directly linked with the disease smallpox. Shitala is worshipped on Tuesday,[3] Saptami and Ashtami (the seventh and eighth day of a Hindu month), especially after Holi during the month of Chaitra. The celebration of the goddess Shitala on the seventh and eighth day of the Hindu month is referred to as the Shitala Saptami and Shitala Ashtami, respectively.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:73aicoale2mqwrap63rdzwep/bafkreiastee32qwnp7aklvqpbjjhnxgtwr6amuulw22p5mqcvj4yfjizwm)
