Manonmani is a manifestation of Goddess Parvati and in this
form she is the consort of Sadashiva. As per some scholars, she is a
manifestation of Goddess Durga.
Sadashiva is the most comprehensive form of Shiva ever
imagined by the human mind. In this form Shiva has five faces. Four faces are
in four directions. The fifth face is shown facing the sky and in some image it
faces the southeast direction. Manonmani is the consort of this form of Shiva
and thus makes her a powerful manifestation.
Goddess Manonmani appears in blue or black complexion and
she is two armed. She carries a Kapala (skull) and sword. She is feared by her
enemies as she can wreck havoc.
It is believed that offer prayers to her will help in
overcoming enemies. She also bestows devotees with wealth.
