The colorful deities and demons of India...

CHINNAMASTAKA

Hindu Fighting Goddess

Terrifying Goddess of Headlessness

The Decapitated One. She can hold her head in her hand without it being joined at the neck. This is a pretty good party trick. Perfect for Halloween.

She is really yet another scary manifestation of Durga who seems to delight in non-de-plumes.
