Shakti Peetha

Shakti Peethas are sacred sites in Hindu tradition believed to be places where parts of the goddess Sati’s body fell to Earth during her self-immolation, symbolizing divine feminine energy. Each Peetha is associated with a specific body part or ornament of Sati, and they are considered powerful centers of worship dedicated to goddess Shakti or Devi. These sites are revered for spiritual healing, energy, and devotion, often attracting pilgrims seeking blessings. There are 51 or more such Peethas across India and neighboring countries, serving as important spiritual and cultural landmarks within the Shakti tradition.
