Chinnamasta’s 108 names

Her name and images show her own severed head, which she holds in her hands, is drinking one stream of blood spurting from the arteries of her neck, and while at her side are two naked Shaktis each of whom drinks another stream of blood. Chinnamasta is been generally shown as if she is standing on the body of God of love. And it is inexpressibly delightful.
