7 Forgotten Shakti Peethas That Still Whisper With Power

 You must have heard about Kamakhya, Vaishno Devi, and Kalighat. But the Shakti Peetha map is not complete without the ones the world forgot. In the ancient legend of Sati and Shiva. Religious beliefs 51 or some say 108 body parts of the goddess fell to Earth, creating spiritual hotbeds across India and beyond. While only a few have turned into famous temples with queues of thousands, others lie hidden in forests, on foreign soil, or under layers of lost history. These 7 sites might not show up on your pilgrimage app, but they might just be the most powerful of them all.

1. Chandrabhaga Shakti Peetha


It is located in Prabhas, near Veraval in Gujarat, is said to be where Sati’s stomach fell. Few know this even exists. The temple lies in semi-ruins but locals speak of strange peace and ancient chants that still echo on full moon nights. Devotees believe meditating here strengthens inner digestion not just physical, but emotional too.

2. Jainagarh Shakti Peetha

Where Sati’s right thigh landed, lies an overgrown stone shrine in Bankura. Once a center for tantra worship, now even Google Maps struggles to locate it. Called Jayadurga by the elders, the temple is whispered to awaken feminine fire in those who seek it with faith.

3. Srisailam Shakti Peetha


A known Jyotirlinga, yes. But did you know it’s also where her neck fell? Unlike other Peethas, this one is alive with both Shiva and Shakti energy in one complex. Priests say her voice still vibrates in the echoing halls, guiding those lost in life.

4. Chintpurni Shakti Peetha

Called Chhinnamastika, the goddess here is depicted without a head, symbolizing freedom from ego. The forehead of Sati is said to have landed here. Forgotten by most lists, the temple buzzes with secret prayers. They say if you come here burdened, you’ll leave light—without understanding why.

5. Amarnath Cave Shakti Peetha

Devotees flock for the ice lingam of Shiva, but ancient Shaiva texts also claim this is where her throat fell. Perhaps that’s why every chant feels louder, every echo deeper. Could this be the reason the cave has drawn sages for millennia?

6. Sugandha Shakti Peetha

Near Barisal lies Sugandha, the Peetha of Sati’s nose. The temple, humble and weather-beaten, stands as a lonely guardian of forgotten power. Only during Durga Puja do thousands gather—otherwise, she rests alone, watching over the land with invisible grace.

7. Guhyeshwari Shakti Peetha

Few Indian pilgrims know this name. Fewer visit. But the temple of Guhyeshwari, near Pashupatinath in Nepal, is said to be where her knees fell. Guhya means secret, and true to her name, the goddess reveals herself only to those who come in silence and surrender.

Why We Forgot Them

first was that these are not Insta-famous, These temples don’t trend on social media and they don’t market themselves. On the other hand it is also true that some temples are beyond boundaries., like Some lie in Nepal, Bangladesh and out of reach for many Indians. These temples have mysterious energy means these are not for show, These are for seekers.

The Goddess never needed fame. Her power isn’t in gold domes or Instagram reels, it’s in the quiet corners of the Earth where few go, but many return transformed.

"The Forgotten Hero of Mahabharata – A Story of True Friendship!"

 When we talk about great friendships in the Mahabharata, most people think of Krishna and Arjuna. But there’s another bond that stands out—one of loyalty, sacrifice, and unshaken trustKarna and Duryodhana.

🔥 A Friendship Beyond Boundaries

Karna, born with divine strength but abandoned at birth, was often mocked for his unknown origins. Despite being a warrior of unmatched skill, he was humiliated at Draupadi’s swayamvar and denied entry into the ranks of Kshatriyas.

But one man saw Karna’s true potentialDuryodhana. Instead of looking at his birth, Duryodhana gave him a kingdom, respect, and unwavering friendship.

⚔️ Karna’s Greatest Sacrifice

Karna’s loyalty to Duryodhana went beyond personal gain. Even after learning that he was the eldest Pandava, he chose friendship over the throne. When Krishna himself offered him a chance to rule, Karna refused, saying:

"Duryodhana stood by me when the world mocked me. How can I betray my friend now?"

💭 Was Karna’s Loyalty His Strength or His Downfall?

Karna’s story teaches us about true friendship, self-respect, and destiny. He knew his path would lead to destruction, yet he never abandoned his values.

💬 What do you think? Was Karna the greatest example of friendship in the Mahabharata? Let’s discuss!

Forgotten Struggle For Ram Mandir

 This story is almost forgotten, eclipsed from the minds of Indians.

As the history tells us, on 28th November, 1858, Punjab’s Mahant Nihang Baba Fakir Singh Khalsa led 25 Sikhs to the disputed land - Babri Masjid, which was the original place of birth of God Rama.

The Nihang Sikhs entered the mosque. There they performed a havan (a fire ritual) and started praying and chanting the name of Rama. And while they’re praying, 25 Nihang Sikhs surrounded the mosque on all 4 sides and write ‘Ram’ with coal inside the mosque.

Then they offered prayers to Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Later, these Nihang Sikhs increased the height of Ram Chabutra (where the Hindus were allowed to pray to Rama). There they place the picture of Lord Ram and increased the area to pray and chant.

The mosque’s Muezzin — Sayyed Muhammed Khateeb made a written complaint to the area’s Thanedar — Sheetal Dubey about the incident.

The authorities reached the site and forcibly removed Baba Nihang Singh and his follower.

Upon being forced out, another issue cropped up. Whenever the Azan was made, the Nihang Sikhs would simultaneously blow the conches. Such daily incidents led to increased tensions but the British authorities were able to muscle it down.


Come to present day.

When the Praan Pratishtha (consecration) was to be performed at the newly built Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, the descendants of Nihang Baba Fakir Singh Khalsa were not forgotten. They were invited to organize a ‘langar’ at the Ram Mandir.

Baba Fakir Singh’s descendant Jathedar Baba Harjit Singh was invited for this purpose.

Speaking to ANI, Baba Harjit Singh said, “We are part of Sanatan. This is our Dharma. We have worked to keep it alive.” He requested Hindus and Sikhs to celebrate the consecration of the Ram Mandir for Ram Lalla together on 22nd January 2024.

Baba Harjit Singh said he wanted to carry forward his ancestor’s devotion towards Bhagwan Ram by holding the langar along with other Nihangs, a distinct sect among the Sikhs identified by their loose, dark blue apparel and their plumed turbans. “Now, when the Prana Pratishtha (consecration) of Lord Rama is being done on January 22, 2024, how can I lag behind?” he asked while addressing the media in Chandigarh Sunday.
