Maa Tara Tarini Shakti Peetha!!

 Tara Tarini is yet another 51 Shakti peethas of Odisha where Maa Sati's breast fell. This is considered as the 4 Adi Shakti peethas. 

The other Adi Shakti peethas are

Vimala devi Shakti peethas Puri - where feet of Maa Sati fell

Kamakshya temple Guwahati - where Maa Sati's genital fell

Kalighat temple - where Toes of the right foot fell.




She is worshipped as two idols of goddess adorned with gold and silver.  This temple is situated in Kumari hills at banks of Rushikulya river near Berhampur. Like the Sodasha upachar in other Shakti peethas in Odisha here also she is adorned with various besha's during Durga Puja. 

Though I have never been here, would definitely try my best to visit this place once.
