sumukhi

Sumukhi is a Sanskrit word often translated as "beautiful face" or "one with a pleasing countenance." It is a common given name in India, particularly among women. The name is derived from the Sanskrit roots "su" meaning "good" or "beautiful" and "mukha" meaning "face."

The term Sumukhi can also appear in various contexts within Indian philosophy and religious texts. For instance, it might be used as an epithet for goddesses or other divine beings to describe their auspicious and attractive appearance. In some traditional practices, a "sumukhi" individual is believed to possess positive qualities beyond their physical beauty, often associated with inner grace and a benevolent disposition. The concept of a pleasing face in Indian culture is not solely about superficial attractiveness but also implies a sense of serenity, kindness, and good fortune. The name itself carries these positive connotations for those who bear it.
