Kubjika

The goddess at the head of the Paschimamnaya, whose name means the bent or hunchbacked one. Her own scripture asks why she is called that and answers it metaphysically: a body too large for a small house must stoop to enter. Her consort is Navatman, the Ninefold, and she survives as a living lineage deity among Newar families in the Kathmandu Valley.
