Tripura Sundari / त्रिपुरा सुन्दरी

Tripura Sundari (Sanskrit: त्रिपुरा सुन्दरी,Tripura Sundarī), or Lalita Maha Tripura Sundari is a Hindu goddess and one of the ten Mahavidyas or Shivasakthi. She is the Shakti / consort of SadaShiva, the Prakriti to his Purusha. 
The Sanskrit word 'Tripura' is a combination of two Sanskrit words; "Tri" meaning "tráyas (three)" and "pura" meaning a city or citadel, but also understood as referring to three cities or citadels "built of gold, silver, and iron, in the sky, air, and earth, by Maya for the Asuras, and burnt by Śiva"  referring to the legend of the three cities destroyed by Shiva. However, "Tripura" can also mean "Śiva Śaktir (Shiva Shakti)" while "sundarī" means "a beautiful woman"
