Hinduism - Who Is Goddess Chintapurni?

 







 (“She who makes one's desires come true”) The presiding deity of a temple in the same-named hamlet in Himachal Pradesh. 




Chintapurni is one of the Shiwalik goddesses, a collection of local deities who are all thought to be expressions of a single feminine divine spirit in the Shiwalik Hills. 



Chintapurni is a form of the goddess Chinnamasta, and this temple is one of the few in the world devoted only to her.
