Shakthi Peetam list

Shakti Peethas are revered pilgrimage sites in Hinduism dedicated to Devi, the mother goddess. There are 52 Shakti Peethas scattered across India, each associated with a significant mythological event related to Devi. These pilgrimage sites are believed to be the places where Devi's body parts fell when she was dismembered by Lord Shiva in a fit of rage

The most prominent Shakti Peethas include:

  • Kedarnath: Located in the Himalayas, Kedarnath is a popular pilgrimage destination for Shiva devotees as well as Devi.

  • Vaishno Devi: Situated in the Trikuta Hills, Vaishno Devi is one of the most visited Shakti Peethas, attracting millions of pilgrims annually.

  • Ujjain: Located on the banks of the Shipra River, Ujjain is another major Shakti Peetha, known for its Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga and the Behad Devi temple.

  • Jagannath Puri: Located in Odisha, Jagannath Puri is a famous pilgrimage site for Lord Jagannath, an incarnation of Lord Krishna. The temple complex also houses the Jagannath Mandir, dedicated to Devi.
