Built in 1855 by Rani Rashmoni, this riverside temple is dedicated to Goddess Kali, a form of Durga. With 12 Shiva shrines and its association with Ramakrishna Paramhansa, it is both a spiritual landmark and a cultural treasure of Bengal.

Situated on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, Kamakhya is a revered Shakti Peetha where the Goddess is worshipped as the yoni symbol. Known for the Ambubachi Mela, it celebrates feminine power, fertility, and mysticism, drawing seekers of divine energy from across India.

Nestled in the Trikuta Hills near Katra, this cave shrine is one of India's most sacred pilgrimage sites. Devotees undertake a trek to reach the sanctum, where the Goddess manifests as three pindis, symbolizing her forms of Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, and Mahasaraswati.

Located in Kangra, this temple is unique as the Goddess is worshipped in the form of natural flames emerging from the earth. The eternal fire is believed to represent Durga's power, making it a rare and deeply revered symbol of divine energy.

Perched on Neel Parvat in Haridwar, this temple was established in the 8th century by Adi Shankaracharya. Considered a Siddh Peetha, it is believed that wishes made here are fulfilled. A ropeway ride offers devotees both convenience and stunning views of the Ganga.
