Chanditala Shakti Peetha

Chanditala Ma Chandi Mandir is a regional Goddess shrine in Hooghly District, West Bengal. The temple is dedicated to Chandi Devi and serves the devotional life of Chanditala and surrounding settlements. Its location on the Chanditala–Sreerampore route makes it accessible within the western side of the Kolkata metropolitan region, but authoritative public documentation about its foundation and classical Peetha status is limited.

The Peetha name is recorded as Chanditala, with Chandi as an alternate form, and the database classifies it as a Samshaktipeeth. No dependable Sati body-part attribution or corresponding Bhairava name has been verified for this exact shrine. Those fields should remain NULL rather than being filled with details from another Chandi temple or a similarly named Peetha. The temple’s regional importance can be explained through living worship without presenting an unsupported classical association as fact.

Navratri and Durga Puja are the principal broadly documented seasons of Goddess worship. A reliable temple-specific festival calendar was not available from an official source, so exact dates and programmes should be confirmed locally. Chanditala Ma Chandi Mandir is best presented as an active regional Devi centre whose claimed Peetha importance requires additional evidence. This cautious approach protects the database from transferring traditions between namesake shrines while still recognising the temple’s place in Hooghly’s local religious landscape.
