Munda is the largest settlement on the island of New Georgia in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands.
A convoy put in to Munda Point on 24 November 1942, and started construction under careful concealment from the air, but were discovered by American planes on 3 December, and the first airstrikes were delivered by B-17s on 9 December.
However, the Japanese were able to use Munda despite regular bombardment from both air and sea, and the Americans' New Georgia Campaign spent July of 1943 closing in on Munda overland, capturing it on 6 August.
In Hinduism, Devi ("goddess") is the supreme mother goddess of the Hindu pantheon.
The Goddess, the female aspect of divinity, is usually considered to have an equal role with the male aspect as "energy" or the driving force (Shakti), without which the male aspect, which represents consciousness or discrimination, is impotent.
There is a separate tradition in Hinduism devoted to her worship called shakta.
