The Hindu deity Chamunda

Female Deities
The Goddess (Devi) is one of Hinduism’s three principal deities. She is understood as being the primordial force underlying nature and represents power (shakti) in its life-giving as well as its destructive aspects. Divine female energy is worshiped in many different forms and names, as seen in these galleries. She is the heroic Durga, the fierce Kali/Chamunda, the nurturing Parvati, the benevolent Lakshmi, and also the river goddess Ganga. Shown here are Ganga and Chamunda., When two male demons set out to overcome the warrior goddess Durga, she transformed into her angry form of Chamunda, also known as Kali, represented here. When she saw the male demons,
Her face in anger became black as ink. From her knitted brows sprang forth Kali [Chamunda], with her dreadful face. . . . She carried a strange skulltopped staff; she was shrouded in a tiger skin and
looked utterly gruesome with her emaciated skin. Her mouth gaped widely, terrifying with its lolling tongue, and filled the directions with roars.*

Here the terrifying twelve-armed goddess brandishes not only a skull-topped staff, but also a trident, bow, skull cup, and other implements of violence. In her two uppermost hands she holds a corpse.
