Uṣṇīṣavijayā, meaning "Victorious Queen of Crowning Light," is a radiant white goddess known for bestowing long life and granting rebirth in a Buddha paradise. She is said to have emerged from the brilliant rays of light that crown Shakyamuni Buddha.
The uṣṇīṣa is a flamelike crown of light that represents spiritual mastery, achieved through the Buddha's deep knowledge and awareness. The top of the head is seen as the center of inner vision and cosmic consciousness, often called the "divine eye," which can perceive spiritual truths beyond what our senses can detect. This area also holds yogic energy that makes the uṣṇīṣa glow, similar to a blooming thousand-petaled lotus.
This crown of glory, which gives Uṣṇīṣavijayā her name, is usually invisible to the naked eye and is often depicted as a diadem, turban, or topknot. The uṣṇīṣa shows that its bearer has moved beyond earthly limits and opened their mind to the vast universe. As a symbol of the highest spiritual state, it represents the powerful knowledge that can triumph over death. Uṣṇīṣavijayā embodies this victorious energy.
