Dhumavati is pale in looks, unsteady in gait, vicious in thought, tall in figure and is dressed in dirty clothes. Her earrings are discolored and She puts on the act of being morose in behavior since She is Widowed. She has Her second birth. She rides in a horseless chariot with the flag depicting a Crow of Death on it, and as She is old She has sagging breasts. Her eyes are red with Fire like the bright Sun rays. She is i possession of all in hand, yet fully endowed with desires. She has a protruding, crooked nose. She suffers from hunger and thirst which leads to Her quarrelsome and frightening to all the enemies of Her devotees, who She blesses and Liberates.

She resides at the home of poor people as Alakshmi (Goddess of poverty, according to Sri-Sukta, praise is dedicated to goddess Lakshmi, who is the goddess of wealth), her existence comes into being mostly during Pradosha Kal (time after sunset until dark and night ending with full sun rise). She is connected with illness or unhealthy conditions of patients and also causes other disturbances, which are concerned with both mental and physical aspects of life.

In Rig-Veda (earliest text-book in Hindu mythology) "Niriti" is the one, who is related with death, bad luck, decay, unfulfilled needs or desire, anger, cowardice etc. or, in other words, all kinds of negative aspects that make our life unhappy or problematic. According to linga Puran (a mythological text book dedicated to lingam), she was born when gods and demons churned up the ocean in search of the nectar and was given to sage Dussaha as his wife. She could not bear any sound or sight related to holy or pious activities.

When Sage Dussaha complained to Lord Vishnu regarding this female, Vishnu advised that since she was his wife he must reside with her and should go to such kind of place which is inauspicious. She provides relief from illness and all types of grief if she is in a happy mood and destructs all happiness and prosperity if she becomes unhappy for some reason. According to Tantric-Text she is another aspect of "Ugra Tara" because she appears as Dhumra (like Smoke), and hence called "Dhumavati". She represents an aggressive, assertive aspect of Sati.
