Armaiti ("beneficent devotion") is one of the Amesha Spentas in Zoroastrianism. She is the personification of holy devotion, the daughter of the creator, Ahura Mazda, and represents righteous obedience. She is associated with the earth and in that capacity she is the goddess of fertility and the dead, who are buried in the earth. The fifth day of every month and the twelfth month are dedicated to her. Her eternal opponent is the archdemon of discontent, Nanghaithya.
