Sri Maha Varahi Devi
Varahi Devi is the commander-in-chief of Lalita Devi’s forces. She emerged from Lalita Devi’s power of action and stands to her left. Lalita Devi bestowed the plough and mace from her Ajna Chakra upon Varahi Devi and appointed her as the supreme commander of the army. Varahi Devi is the embodiment of the Goddess’s power of action.
With the face of a boar, lotus-petal-like eyes, and holding weapons such as the plough, mace, conch, discus, goad, and noose, she shines wearing red garments, displaying the gestures of protection and boon-giving, with overflowing compassion. Varahi Devi represents the commanding power of the Goddess that governs the entire universe.

Lalita Devi took two chakras from the Sri Chakra and gave one to Shyamala Devi and the other to Varahi Devi. The chakra given to Varahi Devi is called the *Kiri Chakra*. The Kiri Chakra has five enclosures. Along with her enclosure deities, Varahi Devi always protects us. Among the Ashta Matrikas, Varahi Devi occupies the fifth position and is therefore also known as Panchami.
