Description of Chinnamunda
Buddhist deity Chinnamunda is the goddess of paradoxes, and she represents both the life-giver and the life-taker sides of the Devi. Depending on the context, she is viewed as both a representation of sexual vitality and a sign of sexual restraint. She stands for life, immortality, recreation, death, temporality, and destruction. Chinnamunda shares traits and iconography with the Hindu goddess Chhinnamasta and she represents spiritual self-realization and Kundalini energy awakening. Mekhala or Elder Mischievous Girl (“The Elder Severed-Headed Sister,”) and Kanakhala or Younger Mischievous Girl (“The Younger Severed-Headed Sister.”), the two sisters who are among the eighty-four Mahasiddhas (“great adepts”) of Vajrayana Buddhism are frequently shown accompanying Chinnamunda.
