There are 51 Shakti Peethas of the Goddess in India. Today we are telling you about those 5 Shakti Peethas which are less popular but the power of the Goddess is felt here.

In Hinduism, Shaktipeeths are sacred places of goddess worship, which are filled with the immense power of Goddess Sati. It is believed that when the goddess gave up her life in Daksha-Yagya, Lord Shiva was performing Tandava with her dead body. To pacify her, Lord Vishnu divided her body into 51 pieces. Wherever the pieces of Goddess Sati's body fell, they became holy pilgrimage sites. Even today the power of Goddess Sati is felt here. Some of these 51 Shaktipeeths are less popular, but their importance and power are as much as others. In this article, we are going to tell you about 5 such powerful but less popular Shaktipeeths, where you must visit.

Vishalakshi Temple, Varanasi

This temple is situated on the banks of the river Ganga near Kashi Vishwanath. It is believed that the earring of Goddess Sati, or one of her three eyes, fell here.

Srisailam Shakti Peetha, Andhra Pradesh

This Shakti Peeth is also known as Bhramaramba Shakti Peeth and it is one of the 18 Mahashakti Peeths.
