Savithri Shakti Peeth
According to Hindu mythology, this is the place where Goddess Sati’s right ankle fell when Lord Vishnu used his Sudarshan Chakra to disperse her body, after her self-immolation at Daksha’s Yagna.
Architecture of the Temple
The temple’s architecture reflects a blend of modern construction and traditional Hindu temple design:
A long pathway (approximately 100 meters) leads to the temple, with spaces for offerings, seating, and parking.
The main sanctum is built over a sacred well-shaped structure, believed to represent the energy center where the ankle of Sati fell.
The temple tower (shikhara) is flanked by two smaller towers, all richly decorated in shades of red, white, gold, and black.
Inside the main sanctum lies the idol of Goddess Bhadrakali, along with a white marble representation of the fallen ankle of Sati.
Other deities including Shiva Lingam, Lord Krishna, Hanuman, and Durga are also enshrined in different parts of the temple.
