Out of these the bhagwati DHUMAVATI occupies an enviable place who depicts Bhayankara Rasa-terrific fear and ferocity upto the enemies of SELF and the COUNTRY. She occupies the south east corner before siva. She killed Dhumasura-an enemy of the civilisationand the country and hence the name. She is called jeyestha ,the eldest among the Bhagwatis. She is the only Bhagwati who is WIDOW . Her figure is terrible with mouth open awfully and ready to devour the whole world if it happens to be Raj Ddrohis , Desh Drohis and enemies of SELF. She is quarrelsome ; Peevish and both physically and mentally , crooked , having protuding teeth and a croked nose. She is smoky in color and wears dirty and torn cloths.
