Maa ChinnaMasta Is A Powerful Symbolism, seeming contradictory, As Maa Is Both The Food and The Eater of Food, Symbolizing the whole world by this Act Of Being Devoured and The Devourer. The Receiver and Giver or Object and Subject Collapses As One, Depicting Oneness.
Maa ChinnaMasta Reverses the ritual head-offering, offering Her own head to the devotees (attendants) in order to Feed them, Symbolising The Devi As A Giver, like Maa Annapurna, The Goddess of food, And Maa Shakambhari, The Goddess of vegetables, or a maternal aspect.
