About This Temple
Savitri Shaktipeeth is one of the sacred 51 Shakti Peethas — holy sites where parts of Goddess Sati’s body are believed to have fallen during Shiva’s cosmic wanderings. At this peeth, the right ankle of Sati is said to have fallen, and the Goddess is worshipped as Savitri / Bhadrakali (a fierce form of Divine Mother) with Lord Shiva as Sthanu Mahadev. The temple is also called Devikoop Bhadrakali Shaktipeeth, Kalika Peeth, or Devi Peeth and has a long tradition of devotion, worship, and ritual offerings.
