18 Handed Lalitha TripuraSundari

Dear Members

Does anyone has picture of Lalitha Tripurasundari with 18 hands.It is said that she took this form when she killed Bhandasura.If so please upload the picture here.

Reference : Kanchi  kamakoti Mutt

[..]
The  Kanyaka Devi who as Maha Tripura Sundari became furious at the sight of the Asura and assuned a Mammoth Form of ‘Ashtaadasha Bhuja’ or of Eighteen-Hands with Chakra and other Ayudhas and in the presence of the Tri Murtis and Devas placed one foot of hers on the Asura’s heart, another foot on his neck and trampled him while holding his head with two of her hands and smashed him to death in a second, searched his sons and relatives meticulously and killed them all, dragged the Asura’s huge body into the Kamakoshtha Bila as an innocent and girlish Bala with a graceful and fully ornamented Swarupa. Devas discarded their Shuka Swarupas and celebrated Devi’s victory as they rained flowers from the Skies, Gandharva-Kinnaras sang tuneful melodies, Apsaraas performed attractive and graceful dances and Munis recited Veda Mantras and the highly delighted went in trances as they were under suppresion for countless years
