In Hinduism, in the Devi Mahatmya, Chanda and Munda are asuras (demons) in the service of Shumbha and Nishumbha. One day they set their eyes upon Parvati and were overwhelmed by her beauty. They carried reports of this goddess to Sumbha. In which Shumbha desired to marry her. After the death of Dhumralochana, Shumbha sent them to fight Devi Kaushiki. After Chanda and Munda approached Devi Kaushiki, she turned black and Kali sprung from her head and killed them. Then, Kaushiki gave the name Chamunda to Kali. Afterward Raktabīja was sent, but was also slain by Goddess Kali.
According to Skanda Purana Purana, Chanda and Munda also worshipped Surya.
