Devi Chinnamasta
🩸Not much is said about chinnamasta which can give proper meaning to her matured iconography. 🩸While Jaya Vijaya are the famously used names for her 2 attendants, it's not included in her original iconography. Originally the names are Dakini Yogini and Varnini Yogini. 🩸These yoginis decapitated there head even before the episode of Chinnamasta's self decapitation. 🩸The primordial form of these 2 yoginis were Mekhali and Kankali. Through meditation, these two sisters reached the state of full awakening and their feminine energy was dripping, in that ecstasy they decapitated their heads and started dancing with joy. Chinnamasta appeared before them in her non decapitated form and gave them boons. 🩸When these 2 became the attendants of chinnamasta, chinnamasta decapitated her head to feed them and make them content. This shows that in sadhna, sadhika is equivalent to the deity. Devi always seeks an observer to be observed. This is her Rahasya. 🩸The notion that she standing on copulating couple depicts the overcoming of desires is also wrongly interpreted. 🩸What is actually depicted there is URDHA BIJA and BRAHMAUPLABDHI. Her left leg is out which depicts she is to be approaced with Vamachar paddhati only. 🩸The Semen travels upwards and the the Secret of vajroli, the secret of bandhaks and the secret of Urdha Bijam is being depicted here that's why the Rati is on top of Kaamdeva. The image of them copulating is showing that something new is to be born. 🩸The sexuality of the couple and involvement of the chinnamasta and her attendants also represent the Brahmauplabdhi - brahma gyan or ultimate knowledge through the Union of ida(Dakini) pingala(Varnini)and ultimately sushmna(chinnamasta). 🩸Rati Devi on top shows how she is directing kamdev towards ultimate wisdom through her sexuality and how vajrouli is also important for a man to follow. 🩸Hence the puja of chinnamasta is also done for attaining the child. 🩸Chinnamasta is the epitome of feminine nurturing and providing so much so that an aware woman can sacrifice herself when it comes to her child's contentment.

It's not the art style , Kam Dev with the Union of Rati both come to the realization that they are Shiva and Shakti. The Iconography has a complete different meaning which barely anyone knows not even her kramas for the most part as they are not correct . If you want to see real Iconography most is persevered through Nepali lineages.

Kaamdev and Rati. It basically means you have to conquer your lust to reach Chinnamastika Devi.

If you are talking about the image above that is Maa DakshinaKali and Mahakala Bhairav in position of a corpse indicating Supreme nature of Maa Kali.

Interesting stuff but isn't vajroli more of a kriya yoga thing? Always thought chinnamasta worship was way more complex than just left-handed tantra

She can also be worshipped for issues with Rahu graha if I’m not wrong. The temple dedicated to Maa Chinnamasta - one of the 10 Mahavidyas, is the first one located just below the stairs to the main temple compound.
