Who Is Goddess Chinnamasta?
The Shakta tradition recognizes Goddess Chinnamasta as one of its ten Mahavidyas. She appears in a depiction which shows her performing self-decapitation while holding her severed head and using blood streams to nourish herself and her attendants. The intense visual display creates strong images but the actual meaning remains hidden within deep spiritual content.
