Chhinnamasta is a Hindu goddess and one of the ten Mahavidyas, representing the fierce aspect of the divine feminine. She is often depicted as a self-decapitated figure, holding her own head in one hand while the other hand holds a sword. Chhinnamasta symbolizes self-sacrifice, transformation, and the cycle of life and death. Worship of Chhinnamasta is prevalent in certain regions of India, particularly in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. Her followers believe that she grants liberation and spiritual awakening. Rituals often involve offerings and prayers to seek her blessings for overcoming obstacles and achieving enlightenment.
