Annapurna is a god of food and nourishment in Hinduism; a manifestation of Parvati.


I bet the way people in the US say it is nothing like the (traditional) way it is said in India.

AFAIK an r sound is always nasalized when followed by an n sound in American English.


It is also the name of a mountain in the Himalayas which I believe is the most familiar meaning to Americans.
