Goddess in Malayalam
None of these words is the general Malayalam word for a goddess; each names a particular one or a particular role. ഭാരതി (bhaarathi) comes closest in use, since it is a name of Saraswati and is glossed as goddess outright. Say bhaa-ra-thi.

ഭാരതി എന്നാൽ വാക്ക് എന്നും അർത്ഥമുണ്ട്.
