Shri Nandikeshwari Temple Shakti Peetha

The Nandikeshwari Shaktipeeth Temple holds deep spiritual reverence among devotees of Shakti. It is believed that the Neck (Kantha) of Goddess Sati fell at this divine spot, sanctifying it as a sacred energy center. The name Nandikeshwari means “The Beloved of Nandi”, where Nandi, the sacred bull of Lord Shiva, is said to have meditated upon Devi here.

“या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

― Shri Bahula Devi Temple

The temple is not only a spiritual retreat but also a heritage center of Tantric worship and feminine energy devotion.

History of the Temple

According to Hindu mythology, when Sati immolated herself at her father Daksha’s yajna, a furious Shiva carried her burning body and performed the Tandava. To save the universe, Lord Vishnu cut her body with his Sudarshan Chakra, and her neck (कण्ठ) fell here, forming the Nandikeshwari Peeth.
The presiding deity is known as Maa Nandikeshwari, a form of Adi Shakti.
The Bhairava associated with this Peeth is Nandikeshwar, symbolizing Shiva’s loyal companion Nandi in divine form.
It is mentioned in the Puranas, especially in the Tantra Chudamani and Kalika Purana.

Significance of the Temple

Shakti: Maa Nandikeshwari (Powerful form of Adi Shakti)

This Peeth is believed to grant strength, health, and spiritual clarity to its devotees. It is particularly revered by those seeking protection, emotional balance, and grace from the Mother Divine.

Architecture of the Temple

The current temple structure was rebuilt in 1913 with a distinct Bengali-style architecture, featuring curved cornices, red oxide walls, and shikharas (domes).

The main idol is adorned with vermillion (sindoor) and silver eyes, and is covered with a red cloth. It sits beneath a large Banyan tree, making the natural surroundings part of the spiritual experience.

There is a small Bhairava shrine, multiple stone idols, and 108 steps leading to different sacred corners.

The peaceful temple compound is surrounded by peepal trees and river banks, creating a calm, meditative ambiance.
