Design :
Musuem Replica of Goddess Chamundeshwari brilliantly crafted in heavy Copper looks exceptionally mesmerizing and divine. Truly an example of brilliant craftsmanship, the Idol features Goddess gracefully seated on demon (preta / shava) , Goddess adorning a garland of skulls . She has four arms, emaciated body and shrunken belly showing the protruding ribs and veins, skull-garland (muṇḍamālā), her corpse seat (pretāsana . ), bare teeth and sunken eyes with round projecting eye-balls, bald head with flames issuing from it. She holds in her back hands a kartr (chopper) and a sula, while her front right and left ones hold a kapāla and a muṇḍa (human head) respectively; the skull on the armlet on her right hand has a grinning smile on its face, while the severed head in her left hand has a life-like expression.
The goddess was instrumental to kill the demons Chanda and Munda hence she named as Chamunda. The deity is known for her ferocious nature and mentioned as a consort of Bhairava who also bears ferocious character. The deity isalso considered as a goddess of death and time . This ferocious element seen represented through the skeletal body, with a terrifying face, sunken eyes, gaping mouth, pendulous breasts, long nails and a sunken belly surrounded by flesh and bloodthirsty wild animals. The mount of the deity is a preta (corpse). Some opinions vary which claims that it is not a preta rather it is himself Shiva who laid beneath her in order to get her to calm down from anger after killing a demon.
