Banbibi, the lady of the forest, also Bandevi, Bandurga and Byaghradevi is a guardian spirit of the forests venerated by both the Hindu and the Muslim residents of the Sundarbans (spread across West Bengal state in eastern India and Bangladesh). She is called upon mostly by the honey-collectors and the woodcutters before entering the forest for protection against the attacks from the tigers. It is believed that the demon king, Dakkhin Rai (or Dakshin Rai; meaning Lord of the South), an arch-enemy of Banbibi actually appears in the disguise of a tiger and attacks human beings.

| - Bonbibi (Bengalisch: বনবিবি, banbibi; übersetzt etwa: „Dschungelfrau“) ist eine regionale Schutzgottheit die in den Dörfern der Sundarbans sowohl von hinduistischen als auch moslemischen Holzfällern und Jägern verehrt wird. Sie schützt die Menschen, insbesondere Wildhonigsammler, beispielsweise vor Angriffen durch Tiger, die der Gottheit Dakshin Rai zugeordnet werden. Um diesen Schutz zu erhalten dürfen die Menschen im Wald keine menschlichen Spuren hinterlassen. So wird etwa das Ausspucken von Speichel vermieden. (de)
