Rajrajeshvari, literally 'one who rules over even the king of kings' is an aspect of Devi Parvati or Lalita, whose emblem is the Srichakra. The Devi is the Mistress of even Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshvar as also Kuber, the lord of wealth, each of whom is known as 'king of kings'. Her temple is at Dewalgarh, in Pauri Garhwal (Uttarakhand, India).
They gather 'round the man in his seventies / Who is on a fast-unto-death 'gainst the muck: / I hear the flutter of a change in the wind. (6th April, 2011- On the social activist Anna Hazare's fast against corruption at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi)
