Disani (Northeastern Katë: Dísëňi, Southeastern Katë: Dízëňi, Western Katë: Dísëi, Prasuni: Dísni, Waigali: Dísën̆i) was a goddess of the Nuristani people before their conversion to Islam. To the people of Nuristan, she was depicted as living in the terrestrial world, appearing in the shape of a woman with a golden garland. Milk and milk-products were offered to her at the altar on the hillside.
