| 520 | |a The worship of the Mother Goddess by Hindu women in KwaZulu-Natal is very popular, as an ongoing daily devotion, as well as at the Goddess's various annual festivals, especially the Draupadi firewalking festival.

Pat Pillay, of Pietermaritzburg, is an example of a woman with little education or social and economic status, whose devotion to the Goddess has brought her a considerable sense of personal empowerment and social recognition, as well as offering healing to numbers of women in her community. It has also motivated her to challenge an all-male temple committee over their decision not to allow women full participation in the firewalking ceremony.1 | ||
