Across India, there are many temples where the goddess is worshipped as a pair of women. In Nainital, Uttarakhand, we find the temple of Nanda and Sunanda Devi. At this temple, we find the goddess worshipped as a pair—Nanda and Sunanda. In Gujarat, we find the temple of Chamunda and Chotila atop a hill. Here too, we find the goddess as a pair—two of them, worshipped together, leaning on each other. Also, Ravi Randal Mata represent the two wives of Surya, Saranya and Chaya, light and shadow. In Rajasthan, Shakambari is worshipped with Satakshi. In Ujjain, it is Mahamaya and Mahalaya, the two female guardians of the Shiva's forest, Mahakaalvan. In Odisha, there are the twin TaraTarini goddess.

In Telangana, a great fair is held in January by the local tribal communities for the mother and daughter pair of Samakka and Saralamma, legendary warriors who led the community a thousand years ago. In Bengal, Manasa-Netadhobani, the snake-venom removing goddess and the washerwoman goddesses, are worshipped as a pair, reminding us of tantrik yogini collectives, associated with 'lower' caste professions, who battle celibate jogis.
