The One who has four hands Three eyes, who has complexion of Dark Rainy clouds who has Angry and terrible face with fangs coming out of her mouth , who wears a Tiger's hide on her waist , holds a khadga khatwaang / Trishul, Kapaala and Abhayamudra who wears a Garland of tingling bells around her waist and a Golden crown on head radiates her beauty, She who wears a Garland of freshly cut heads of demons around her neck Rides a Dead corpse , Whose Breast are barely visible and is Old like an dead corpse to such Chamunda I always chant her name.


Chamunda also known as Chamundi and Charchika is the Shakthi of Devi (Chandi). She is the destructive form of Devi; and is similar in appearance and habits to Kali. Devi Mahatmya recounts that in the course of her fight with demons Chanda and Munda, Devi created from her forehead the terrible form of Chamunda. Unlike other Matrikas, Chamunda is an independent goddess. She is also praised as the fertility goddess of Vindhya Mountains She is also associated with Yama. The descriptions of Chamunda are varied.

One of the descriptions of Chamunda mention of her as a goddess of terrible countenance, black and scowling, with drawn sword and lasso, holding a Khatvanga, wearing a garland of severed heads (munda-mala) suspended by their hair. Chamunda is clad in a tiger skin, hungry and emaciated, mouth hideously distorted and the tongue protruding out. She sits upon a seat made of three skulls; and has a cadaver for footrest.
