From East to West

The Romany-Gypsy people came from Central/East India more than 1500 years ago and traveled to the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Americas.

From their origins in Odisha, an area of central and east India, they held Hindu beliefs, specifically Shaktism, a denomination of Hinduism. In Shaktism, a mother goddess created everything and is the essence of our existence.

This mother figure is Shakti the primordial mother, and her other names that depict her roles as a Goddess: Parvati, Goddess of Love, marriage, fertility, and war (as Durga and Kali), Saraswati the Goddess of Wisdom, and Lakshmi Goddess of Wealth and Good Luck.
