List of 53 Shakta Pithas

The list of 53 Shakta Pithas represents one of several traditions used to identify sacred places connected with Goddess Shakti. These sites are associated with the story of Goddess Sati and are generally linked with a body part or ornament, a particular form of the Goddess and a corresponding Bhairava form of Shiva.

There is no single universally accepted total of Shakti Peethas. Different Tantric works, Puranas, regional traditions and later compilations preserve lists containing 51, 52, 53, 64, 68, 108 or other totals. The 53-site list should therefore be understood as one specific compilation rather than the final or only authoritative list.

Names, body-part traditions and modern temple identifications may also vary between sources. This page presents the 53 Shakta Pithas followed by this website, together with their associated locations, Devi forms, Bhairavas and available source information. Disputed identifications are clearly noted wherever possible.
