Vimala devi Shakti peetha Puri!!

This is another important Shakti peetha, which is inside Jagannath temple Puri Odisha. She is the tantrik concert of Lord Jagannath who here is present in form of Bhairava( form of Shiva). So, here Vishnu and Shiva are same lord Jagannath, which signifies that oneness of God.

Maa Sati's feet fell here, so it is one of the 51 Shakti peethas. Here she is considered Katayini. She is Bhairavi and lord Jagannath as Bhairava.




She is considered the guardian of Jagannath temple and is worshipped before worshipping lord Jagannath. The importance of her is felt by the fact that until the Prasad offered to Lord Jagannath is not offered to Maa Vimala it is not considered as Mahaprasad. The popular belief is until it's offered to Maa Vimala the auroma or smell of Mahaprasad does not appear. 

According to Madala Panji King Yayati keshari had built this temple. 

This, during Durga Puja all the vidhi's of mata is performed here.
