Etymology[]
"Ichchadhari" (इच्छाधारी) is a Hindi expression composed of the Sanskrit-derived words "Ichchha" (इच्छा; meaning "wish" or "desire") and "Dhari" (धारी; meaning "bearer" or "holder"). As such, "Ichchadhari" can be translated as "wish-bearing." The term is often associated with the Naag or Naagin, mythical shape-shifting serpents in Indian folklore and mythology, which can transform between human or animal form at will.
Trivia[]
- Ichchadhari and her serpent are spiritual successors to the Snake Charmer and Giant Python in the original Octopath Traveler.
