Bhoomi devi also known as Bhu devi is the Goddess Mother Earth. Bhoomidevi is a combination of two words namely 'bhoomi' and 'devi'. Bhoomi refers to earth and devi refers to Goddess in english, thus Bhoomi Devi is Earth Goddess. Bhoomi devi is the consort of God Varaha, who is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

She is also said to be the wife of Lord Krishna (Lord Krishna being the avatar of Lord Vishnu). Bhumi devi is also known to be the mother of Goddess Sita, as Sita was found in the ploughed field by Raja Janak of Mithila.

Devi Bhoomi is depicted as a beautiful shapely Goddess adorned with a lot of jewellery. She sits on a lotus, wearing a heavy crown and many jewellery around her neck, hands and feet. She sits there calmly with a smile on her face. Bhoomi Devi along with God Varaha gave birth to a demon Narakasura who secured a boon from Lord Vishnu that none other than his mother could ever kill him. Taking advantage of the situation, he began tormenting people and his tyrant rule continued for years until Lord Krishna took birth being an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Lord Krishna married Satyabhama, who is considered an avatar of Bhoomidevi. When Satyabhama heard of Narakasura bad acts, she was aggravated and she killed Narakasura along with her husband Lord Krishna.
