Chamunda (Wikipedia)
source
A Wikipedia article on Chamunda, a fearsome, emaciated form of the Hindu goddess Chandi or Mahadevi, closely associated with Kali and Durga and counted among the seven Matrikas, the only one who is a Shakti of the great Goddess rather than of a male deity. The article confirms she is a recurring subject of illustrated Devi Mahatmya manuscripts across Mughal, Pahari and Rajput painting traditions, corroborating her identification in the Metropolitan Museum's Guler battle scene from outside the museum's own catalogue.

Tier three: a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, matching this atlas's established convention for a Wikipedia citation.
