KIRTIMUKHA (Slide 7).
The story of Kirtimukha begins when the asura king Jalandhara accumulated to himself irresistible powers. In a burst of pride, he sent forth his messenger, the monster Rahu, whose main task is eclipsing the moon, to challenge Shiva. Shiva's immediate answer was to explode a tremendous burst of power from his third eye, which created a horrendous, emaciated, ravenous lion. A terrified Rahu sought Shiva's mercy, which Shiva agreed to. In order to feed the ravenous lion, Shiva suggested that the creature should feed on the flesh of its own feet and hands. So, Kirtimukha willingly ate his body starting with its tail as per Shiva's order, stopping only when his face remained. Shiva, who was pleased with the result, gave it the name "glorious face", and declared that it should always be at the door of his temples. Thus, the Kirtimukha is a symbol of Shiva himself.

The Kirtimukha is often used as a motif surmounting the pinnacle of a temple or the image of a deity, especially in South Indian architecture. Kirtimukha serves primarily as an apotropaic demon-mask, a gruesome, awe-inspiring guardian of the threshold

या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता।
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना॥
या ब्रह्माच्युत शंकरप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता।
