On 5 July 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Shakti pitha to Shakta pithas. The result of the discussion was moved. |
The merger is a must and this should be done at the earliest. --Bhadani 17:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC) Jay Hind — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:201:6800:B0E7:FDCE:529C:B715:1F5F (talk) 19:56, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
The article has been merged with Shakti Peeth. However, a lot of work is to be done to wikify the article properly.Each of the peethas should be clearly stated in terms of the present geographical location, at least intra-wiki links should link to proper geographical locations.--Dwaipayanc 10:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Please note that "shakumbhari devi" is not a shakti pita. instead "Hinglaj" situated in Baluchistan in Pakistan is a shakti pith and the head or bramharandha fell there. this must be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.110.243.21 (talk • contribs) of 09.05.2006
Today I have tried to provide the exact geo-locations with intra-wiki links as far as possible for the first 10 items. I propose to do the rest in phases. VMO 09:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
No where Tulja Bhavani (From Tuljapur of Maharashtra)is mentioned, As I read through a old book of shaktipitha wel published from haridwar in 1970s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.80.57.2 (talk) 10:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
The list of shaktipeeths is completely wrong. It does not mention Vaishno Devi in Jammu, Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi in Haridwar and Naina Devi in Uttaranchal. There are many others which are not mentioned, but are commonly accepted as Shaktipeeths. I will assign a dubious assertion tag on the list in a few days, if a reputable ref. is not added.nids(♂) 19:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::Check out the second reference, no.39. It is not mentioned in the main article. I think that web list is much better than relying solely on banglapedia. Though, i am trying to get a better list.nids(♂) 16:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
My hearty thanks to Bhadani for tying up the loose ends amicably. Yes, with his keen interest in maintaining wikipedia spirit, he has transformed many issues of thorns into flowers. VMO 03:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi to all, I'm new to wikipedia and not much aware of its internals, but as today I went through this article, I found that KangdaDevi temple called 'Vajreshwari Devi temple' near Nagarkot / Pathankot is not listed here and is surely is an undisputed ShaktiPeeth, as per the legend the left breast of sati fell over there and is clearly mentioned in the temple itself and many other sources.

Pithapuram Sri Kukkuteswara Swamy temple is an ancient Siva Khetra in Godavari District. It acquired importance of Buddhists, Jains and Vishnava also. It was the capital of many local dynasties from about 4th or 5th century AD.
Once upon a time Gayasura a powerful a powerful demon was acquired puruhutikashakti which is one among the Asthadasapithas through is great devotion, with that might power he oftenly used to disturb the Yagas of Brahmanas. PithapuramTo over come this trouble the devatas with the help of Trimurthis conceived a plan to kill the Gayasura. According to the plan the devats decided to perform the Yaga on the chest of the Demon, they performed the Yagna with great devotion day and night. On the seventh day of the Yaga, Maheswara himself took the form of Kukkuta ( cook ) and voice, the Gayasura was disturbed from this sleep and immediately the Yaga disturbed. Then the angry Devatas gave a curse to the Demon as the yagna spoiled, his body would also be broken into pieces, the head fell in Gayakshetra, the chest in Jajipuram and the feet in front of Kukkuteswara Swamy temple. The demon Gayasura spread his entire body from Gaya to Pithapuram Kshetra, his feet stretched upto Pithapuram. It became a Padagaya Kshetr SurendrakumarTolem (talk) 15:16, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
Kunjapuri is a temple of Goddess Durga, as it is one of the thirteen Shakti Peethas (Shakti Kendras) in the Himalayan Shivalik range and one of the three Shakti Peethas in Tehri Garhwal district, restored by Jagadguru Shankaracharya. The other two Shakti Peeths in the district are Surkanda Devi and Chandrabadni. Kunjapuri, with these two peeths form a sacred triangle. Shakti Peethas are the places where the body parts of Goddess Sati (an incarnation of Goddess Parvati before her birth as Parvati) took place, when Lord Shiva was carrying her dead body in his arms and the body parts of Sati were found in Bharatvarsha. In the Himalaya ranges, he fell at different places in the world, the places where the parts of Maa Sati fell are called places Shaktipeeths. She gave up her body in the fire of Yagya at Haridwar Kankhal when her father Daksha said something about her husband. Derogatory remarks made. Thousands of devotees visit the Durga temple in Kunjapuri throughout the year, but during Navratras there is a huge crowd of devotees. 108 in Devi Bhagwat Purana, 26 in Kalika Purana, 51 in Shivcharitra, 52 in Durga Saptashati and Tantra Chudamani. Generally 51 Shaktipeeths are considered. Asemwal (talk) 15:10, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
What this article needs is relevant text quoted, if possible from Brahmanda Purana, which the article suggests contains the complete listings, all subsequent listing can be verified from Puranic texts, otherwise, there are no many more shrines, on the verge of claiming Shakti Peetha status, and with growing popularity many more will.--Ekabhishek (talk) 14:49, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
The list of shaktipeeths does not include the "Ratanpur – Shri Aadishakti Maa Mahamaya Devi ‘Shaktipeet'" that shall be updated. reference http://www.mysterindia.com/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=1575 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.242.70.185 (talk) 17:39, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
"Tarapith" of Birbhum district of West Bengal is missing in the list of the Shakti Peethas. 180.211.187.134 (talk) 06:22, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
I could not find any references saying that the four mentioned are Adi Shakti Pithas. Kalika Purana lists 4 Pithas (see Vimala_Temple#In_Shakti_Pitha_lists): Vimala Puri, Kamakhya, Jalandhara and Purneshwar. But no proof they are called Adi Shakti Pithas. --Redtigerxyz Talk 05:20, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Shakti pitha → Shakta pithas – Not really a very strong support from my end, but regardless, I thought this might merit a discussion among the WP community for the record. While contemporary usage among the vast Hindi-speaking population in India seems to prefer "Shakti pithas", references to the subject in traditional Hindu religious literature is unanimously as "Shakta pithas", so no wonder that every major scholar on Shaktism or Tantra has used that term. The only book on this topic even to this day is by the noted historian Dineshchandra Sircar. Other academic sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Also important to note here that the present scholarly consensus is that this very concept took shape in Bengal, so the fact that even historian Sachidananda Sarkar refers to the topic as "Shakta pithas" in his Bengali book মহাতীর্থ একান্নপীঠের সন্ধানে might be relevant to consider.
