Virtually everything that Rajamouli touches turns into gold, and his upcoming Varanasi with Mahesh Babu seems no different. One particular shot from the Varanasi glimpse is already capturing attention, and it’s worth exploring its significance.
The shot features Chinnamasta Devi, a powerful and rare form of Goddess Parvati, known for her fierce appearance and deep symbolic meaning. In mythology, she is depicted without a head, holding it in her hand, with three streams of blood flowing from her neck.
One stream flows into her own mouth, while the other two are consumed by her companions, Jaya and Vijaya, also known as Dakini and Varini. This form represents sacrifice, courage, and the idea of sharing one’s energy with others even in the most challenging situations.
There are two popular stories associated with her. In one, Parvati is bathing in a river with Dakini and Varini when they suddenly feel hungry. To satiate them, she cuts off her own head and lets them drink her blood. In another tale, during a great battle, Jaya and Vijaya’s energies start to wane, and Parvati restores their strength by sacrificing her head once again, sharing her power through her blood.
Despite her fearsome appearance, Chinnamasta Devi is revered as a goddess of compassion and protection. She is primarily worshipped by followers of Tantra traditions, and temples dedicated to her are rare, mostly found in North India and Nepal. The Varanasi glimpse beautifully captures this mysterious and intense divine energy, adding depth and intrigue to the film.
