Pushpanjali is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Pushpanjali is a feminine Indian name rooted in Sanskrit: puṣpa (“flower”) + añjali (“offering with cupped hands, salutation”). Together they signify “offering of flowers,” a central gesture in Hindu worship symbolizing reverence, gratitude, and surrender. The compound appears in classical Sanskrit liturgy and temple practice, and it is especially familiar from the communal pushpanjali rite during Durga Puja in eastern India.
As a given name, Pushpanjali has circulated across North and South India and the diaspora since the 20th century, chosen for its devotional aura and lyrical cadence. It also resonates through the performing arts: in Bharatanatyam and related forms, the opening piece is called Pushpanjali, an invocation to the stage and deities. Variants and transliterations include Puṣpāñjalī (IAST), Puspanjali, and Pushpaanjali; nicknames often shorten to Pushpa or Anjali. Related names with shared elements include Anjali and Pushpa.
