Chanda and Munda, two monsters whom Chamunda killed. She
is closely associated with Kali, another fierce aspect of
Parvati. She is identified with goddesses Parvati, Chandi or
Durga as well. The goddess is often portrayed as haunting
cremation grounds or fig trees. The goddess is worshipped by
ritual animal sacrifices along with offerings of wine and in the

interference of existing skyline is another phase of a visible
Urbanism dilemma.
