Chitralekha Banerjee (29 July 1956), well known as Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is an Indian American novelist, poet, essayist and the professor of creative writing program at the university of Houston. Born and brought up in Calcutta and later moving on to the United States for her higher studies, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni became very much interested in pursuits concerning women. As a firstgeneration Diaspora, her capability of extraction of the transculturalism – a collective form of the social integration keeping cultural distinctiveness, is harmonized aesthetically with her concern of Indian cultural heritage, of immigrant encounters of isolation and of approval in the multicultural perspectives. This paper aims to seek the cause of cultural and sociological domination, adaptation, and amalgamation in the different ethnic groups due to spatial migration from home land to the land of unknown identity of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni herself and its reflection on her Before we Visit The Goddess (2016) - a story of intergenerational saga that urge to portray the crises in the psychological state of the female characters of three generations who might have been designed by the novelist to display the replica of the sweet remembrances of the novelist herself about Indian culture, history, myths, food habits, religious practices and society which are purely rooted in Indian soil.
