मुकुट

मुकुट (mukuTa) - very Beautiful Sanskrit word, meaning not only crown, but "diadem and tiara"

I loved the following article about Shree Sapta-Matrikas - https://meerahrt3m.wikispaces.com/The+Sapta+Matrikas

The Images of Shreemati Vaishnavi-Devi (Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi) and Shreemati MahEshwari-Devi are in rather graphic style, but very adorable. 
And Shreemati MahEshwari-Devi in a very Shani-influenced style: Violet Dress (The Colour of Shani and Shani connected with Bhagavan Shree Shiva, of course), Skulls and Damaru. Very Beautiful!
2) Vaishnavi: represents the power of the Preserver God Vishnu, She is described as sitting on the Garuda. She is also depicted as having Four or Six Arms. She holds a Conch, a Discus (Chakra), a Mace, and Lotus and Bow and Sword, or Two Arms are in Varada Mudra. She is known for Her Crown which is cylindrical and known as Kirita Mukuta.

3) Maheshvari: represents The Power of God of destruction Shiva. She is seen sitting on the bull Nandhi. She has Four or Six Arms. She has a white complexion, She has Three Eyes and holds a Trident, a Damaru, a Garland of beads, a Drinking Vessel, and Axe, and Antelope, or a Skull Bow, or a Serpent. Rather than a crown She wears a Silver Crescent Moon on a headdress of piled matted hair this is known as Jata Mukuta.
