 Sharda Devi Temple at Maihar near Satna Dist. Satna is also considered a shakti peeth
where the necklace of Sati fell.
 Bhadrakali Temple in holy city Kurukshetra(Haryana)is also considered as one of the 51
holy Shakti peethas. The temple is dedicated to Bhadrakali a form of shakti. This is
considered to be one of the fifty one Shakti pithas of India. It is believed that the right
ankle of Sati fell here in the well. The "consort of Savtri is called Sthanu". Hence, the city
is called "Staneshwar" meaning abode of Shiva. It is believed that the mundun (hair
removing) ceremony of Srikrishna and Balarama was also performed in this temple.[6]
 Kalika Mata Temple at Pavagadh near Vadodara in Gujarat is also considered shakti
peeth where a part of Sati's foot is said to be fallen.[7]
Historical notes
First relating to Brahmanda Purana, one of the major eighteen Puranas, it mentions 64 Shakthi
Peetha of Goddess Parvati in the Bharat or Greater India including present day India,
Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Another text which gives a listing of these shrines, is
the Shakthi Peetha Stotram, written by Adi Shankara, the 9th century Hindu philosopher.[8]
According to the manuscript Mahapithapurana (circa 1690-1720 CE), there are 52 such
places. Among them, 23 are located in the Bengal region, 14 of these are located in what is now
West Bengal, India, 1 in Baster (Chattisgarh), while 7 are in what is now Bangladesh.
Rishi Markandeya composed the 'Devi Saptashati' or the seven hundred hymns extolling the
virtues of the Divine Goddess at the shaktipeetha in Nashik. The idol is also leaning a little to the
left to listen to the sages composition. The Saptashati or the "Durga Stuti" forms an integral part
in the vedic form of Shakti worship.
Preserving the mortal relics of famous and respected individuals was a common practice in
ancient India - seen in the Buddhist stupas which preserve the relics of Gautama Buddha. It is
believed by some[citation needed] that these 64 peethas preserve the remains of some ancient female
sage from whom the legend of Kali could have emerged and then merged with the Purusha -
Prakriti (Shiva Shakti) model of Hindu thought.

Nainadevi in Himachal Pradesh (Bilaspur) is also considered a shakti peetha, where Sati's eyes fell.  Sharda Devi Temple at Maihar near Satna Dist. Satna is also considered a shakti peeth where the necklace of Sati fell.  Bhadrakali Temple in holy city Kurukshetra(Haryana)is also considered as one of the 51 holy Shakti peethas. The temple is dedicated to Bhadrakali a form of shakti. This is considered to be one of the fifty one Shakti pithas of India. It is believed that the right ankle of Sati fell here in the well. The "consort of Savtri is called Sthanu". Hence, the city is called "Staneshwar" meaning abode of Shiva. It is believed that the mundun (hair removing) ceremony of Srikrishna and Balarama was also performed in this temple.[6]  Kalika Mata Temple at Pavagadh near Vadodara in Gujarat is also considered shakti peeth where a part of Sati's foot is said to be fallen.[7] Historical notes First relating to Brahmanda Purana, one of the major eighteen Puranas, it mentions 64 Shakthi Peetha of Goddess Parvati in the Bharat or Greater India including present day India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Another text which gives a listing of these shrines, is the Shakthi Peetha Stotram, written by Adi Shankara, the 9th century Hindu philosopher.[8]
  • 7. According to the manuscript Mahapithapurana (circa 1690-1720 CE), there are 52 such places. Among them, 23 are located in the Bengal region, 14 of these are located in what is now West Bengal, India, 1 in Baster (Chattisgarh), while 7 are in what is now Bangladesh. Rishi Markandeya composed the 'Devi Saptashati' or the seven hundred hymns extolling the virtues of the Divine Goddess at the shaktipeetha in Nashik. The idol is also leaning a little to the left to listen to the sages composition. The Saptashati or the "Durga Stuti" forms an integral part in the vedic form of Shakti worship. Preserving the mortal relics of famous and respected individuals was a common practice in ancient India - seen in the Buddhist stupas which preserve the relics of Gautama Buddha. It is believed by some[citation needed] that these 64 peethas preserve the remains of some ancient female sage from whom the legend of Kali could have emerged and then merged with the Purusha - Prakriti (Shiva Shakti) model of Hindu thought.
