Description
Occult Heroes: Hindu Magic. This is Siddha (Prisha Kapoor).

In Hinduism, Siddhis are supernatural powers attainable through spiritual advancements through meditation and yoga. They can be with a person from birth, use of special medicines or drugs, Incantation of Mantras, Penance, and achieving oneness with consciousness.

The Eight Siddhis, or Eight Great Perfections are:

- Aṇimā: reducing one's body even to the size of an atom
- Mahima: expanding one's body to an infinitely large size
- Garima: becoming infinitely heavy
- Laghima: becoming almost weightless
- Prāpti: having unrestricted access to all places
- Prākāmya: realizing whatever one desires
- Iṣṭva: possessing absolute lordship
- Vaśtva: the power to subjugate all

The Five Siddhis of yoga and meditation are:

- trikālajñatvam: knowing the past, present and future
- advandvam: tolerance of heat, cold and other dualities
- para citta ādi abhijñatā: knowing the minds of others and so on
- agni arka ambu viṣa ādīnām pratiṣṭambhaḥ: checking the influence of fire, sun, water, poison, and so on
- aparājayah: remaining unconquered by others

Ten secondary Siddhis are:

- anūrmimattvam: Being undisturbed by hunger, thirst, and other bodily appetites
- dūraśravaṇa: Hearing things far away
- dūradarśanam: Seeing things far away
- manojavah: Moving the body wherever thought goes (teleportation/astral projection)
- kāmarūpam: Assuming any form desired
- parakāya praveśanam: Entering the bodies of others
- svachanda mṛtyuh: Dying when one desires
- devānām saha krīḍā anudarśanam: Witnessing and participating in the pastimes of the gods
- yathā sańkalpa saḿsiddhiḥ: Perfect accomplishment of one's determination
- ājñāpratihatā gatiḥ: Orders or commands being unimpeded

It should be noted that although Hinduism considers these powers possible, they aren't to be sought after. Instead. the goal should be spiritual enlightenment. But, hey, a superhero's gotta "super". This character gains a limited control over her Siddhis through Mantras and uses them to fight evil.
