Shaktipeeth Temple Pilgrimage Tour - 11 Nights / 12 Days

The Trip to Shaktipeeth Temples in West Bengal and Guwahati is one of the most spiritually powerful pilgrimages for devotees of Goddess Shakti. This journey connects several ancient sites where different body parts of Goddess Sati are believed to have fallen, forming the revered Shaktipeeths across the subcontinent. 

The tour begins in Kolkata, which houses the Kalighat Shaktipeeth, one of the most important temples where the toes of Goddess Sati are believed to have fallen.

From Kolkata, pilgrims travel to Bargabhima Temple, one of the earliest mentions of a Shaktipeeth in the region. This temple holds immense religious value, as it is associated with legends of Sati’s left ankle falling here.

The journey continues to Bhramari Shaktipeeth near Amta, followed by multiple Shaktipeeths in and around Burdwan. These include Maa Jogadaya Shaktipeeth at Kshirgram, Bahulakshmi at Ketugram, and Attohas, each connected with distinct mythological references.

Burdwan also houses the 108 Shiv Mandir, a stunning circular complex of identical temples built in the 18th century, and the Sarbamangala Temple, an important local shrine dedicated to the Goddess.

Further exploration includes Shri Ujaani Shaktipeeth and Dhakeswari Kali Mata Temple, each adding layers to the spiritual depth of the tour. From here, the journey moves to Bishnupur, known for its terracotta temples, and then to Bolpur Shantiniketan. Nearby lies Kankalitala Shaktipeeth, another important site associated with the waist of Sati.

The next phase leads to Bakreshwar, a noted Shaktipeeth featuring hot springs, ancient Shiva temples, and the Mahishmardini Shrine. The pilgrimage moves to  Tarapith, where the presiding deity is Maa Tara, worshipped in the tantric tradition. The temple is one of the most powerful Shakti shrines and attracts thousands of devotees daily.

From Tarapith, the journey extends into Murshidabad, historically rich and spiritually significant. Pilgrims visit Nalateswari Temple, where the throat of the Goddess is believed to have fallen, followed by Kiriteshwari Temple, associated with the fallen crown.

The tour then returns toward Kolkata, with an important stop at Nandikeshwari Temple in Sainthia, associated with Sati’s necklace. Another visit to Bakreswar adds symbolic completion to the pilgrimage before arriving back in Kolkata. Here, devotees visit Kalighat Temple and Dakshineshwar Kali Temple for blessings before flying onward to Guwahati.

In Guwahati, the pilgrimage reaches its pinnacle with a visit to Kamakhya Temple, one of the most powerful tantric Shakti shrines in the world. Additional visits include the Navagraha Temple and the Umananda Temple on Peacock Island, completing the spiritually fulfilling journey across the Shaktipeeths.
