Lalita (ललिता) is a Sanskrit name meaning "playful," "charming," or "graceful." It is one of the principal names of the goddess Devi in Hindu Shaktism — specifically referring to Lalita Tripura Sundari, "the playful beauty of the three worlds," considered the supreme manifestation of the goddess.
Lalita is widely used across India. The Sanskrit name carries the meaning of someone whose grace comes through spontaneous play rather than effort.
Lalita reduces to nine — the number of divine playful beauty.
