Today, let me dedicate this post to Maa Cuttack Chandi, the goddess of my native Cuttack. This temple of Maa Chandi is in heart of Cuttack. Now, they are expanding its corridor and soon the work will be completed. I am eager to see the new look of this shrine.
In Chandi temple, Maa is worshipped as the Bhuvaneswari Mahavidya (queen of the universe). She has four arms holding paadha, ankusha, abhaya mudra(dispelling fear), varada mudra(granting boon ). The Prasad of maa is a special type of gulab jamun.
During Durga Puja she is decorated each day in various besha's out of which my personal favorites are Suna besha and Bagalamukhi Besha. In the temple premises you can see other deities like Shiva, Ganesha, Various Mahavidyas of maa.
Jay Maa Chandi🙏
