Means,Her left foot forward in battle, she holds her severed head and a knife. Naked, she drinks voluptuously the stream of the blood nectar flowing from her beheaded body. The jewel on her forehead is tied with a serpent. She has three eyes. Her breasts are adorned with lotuses. Inclined towards lust, she sits erect above the god of love, who shows signs of lustfulness. She looks like the red hibiscus.


Chhinnamasta" is associated with the concept of self-sacrifice or getting rid of unwanted Desire, as well as the awakening of the Kundalini.

The name "Chhinnamasta" is compound of two words: the first is "Chinna" meaning isolated and "Masta" meaning head. Thus, Chhinnamasta is the one who is without head or a severed head. She severed her head by own and hold in one hand, as a symbol of self sacrificing.

She is also known with other names like Chhinnamastika Prachanda Chandika. Her appearance is fully different form other Goddess, as a fearsome, awful or furious aspect of of divine mother, among ten Maha-Vidyas. Character wise, She combines all the three Gunas, namely, "Satwa, Rajas and Tamo", and hence is well known as "Trigunmayee" (one who have all three types of natural properties or Gunas). She represents the change of cycle in the Universe.

Everything that is in the Universe is related to this cycle. When the deterioration is more than the creation, it causes her prominence and the process is reversed and once again,creation is more than deterioration. She is also famous by her another name called "Vajra-Vairochiynea" because of legendary demons Hiranyakashyap, Vaiorchan etc. Adoration of Goddess Chhinnamasta, and her existence can also be found in Jainism and Buddhism. In Buddhism she is known as Chhinnamunda Vajravarahi.

She indicates towards an eternal truth that, life is nourished by death and life, death and sex is inter-related with each other and the ultimate destiny of sexual desire is to perpetuate more life. She is a symbol of self-control, control over ever-growing desire,which must be achieved before undertaking successful yogic practice. She represents the control of desire during Yogic practice and the suppression of sexual lust.
