List of Ashtadasha Shakti Peethas

The Ashtadasha Shakti Peethas are a traditional group of eighteen major sacred seats of Goddess Shakti. “Ashtadasha” means eighteen. These Peethas are celebrated in the Ashtadasha Shakti Peetha Stotram, a devotional hymn traditionally attributed to Adi Shankaracharya. The hymn names important forms of the Goddess worshipped at locations across the Indian subcontinent, including Kamakshi at Kanchipuram, Jogulamba at Alampur, Bhramaramba at Srisailam and Mahalakshmi at Kolhapur.

The Ashtadasha list is different from the commonly known lists of 51, 52 or 108 Shakti Peethas. The hymn primarily celebrates the Goddess and her sacred locations; it does not provide a complete body-part tradition for every Peetha. Some modern temple identifications also differ between regional traditions and researchers.

This page presents the eighteen Peethas associated with the stotram while noting disputed or uncertain modern locations where necessary.
