Chinnamasta

Chinnamasta yogini Thangka

Chhinnamasta yogini is the goddess of Desire often spelled Chinnamasta, and Prachanda Chandika.

She is one of the Mahavidyas, ten goddesses from the esoteric tradition of Tantra, and a ferocious aspect of Devi, the Hindu Mother goddess.

The self-decapitated nude goddess, usually standing or seated on a divine copulating couple, holds her own severed head in one hand, a scimitar in another.

Three jets of blood spurt out of her bleeding neck and are drunk by her severed head and two attendants.
