Raktadantika was the fierce form of the goddess Durga. Rakta-dantika means “teeth are red in cooler”. She incarnated to destroy the asura Vaiprachitta. According to Devi Mahatmya, Devi Raktadantika was the incarnation of Goddess Durga. Her other beings are Nandadevi, Shakambhari, Bhramari and Bhimaa. Another account describes her as a form of Kali, with an entirely red body.
