Shitala

Shitala
Shitala Mata es el nombre con el cual se conoce a la diosa de la viruela en la India. Existen muchos templos dedicados a su culto. Se cree que cada vez Shitala se mueve, el cesto que lleva sobre su cabeza derrama unos granos y que cada grano se convierte en una pústula de la viruela. La vida del afectado depende si Shitala ha lavado o no los granos con el agua de su cantaro, muere en caso de que ella esta portando la escoba.
