Скачать или смотреть Nalateswari Temple | Nalhati - Birbhum | West Bengal | 51- Shakti peeth

Nalateswari Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, one of the 51 places where parts of Devi Sati’s body fell. This temple is very sacred and visited by devotees from all over the country. Since the throat or ‘nala’ of Sati is believed to have fallen here, the temple came to be called as the Maa Nalateswari Temple. It is believed that no matter how much water is poured down the throat of the goddess, it will never get overflowed or dried up.

According to the localities, in 252th Bengali year or “Bongapto”, “Kamdev” (the Hindu god of love or desire) who had dreamt about its existence, discovered the larynx of maa sati in the Nalahati forest. Another legend depicts that Ram Sharam Devsharma was known to be the first discoverer of the Nala of Devi Sati and this had marked the beginning of Maa Nalateswri devotion.

In the later half, Bramhachari Kushalnan had offered the first “Bhog” or food offerings. He had started the salvation on the “Pancha-munda-ashana” or the five headed throne. Nalhati is a beautiful place with serene outdoors and plateaus all around. Maa Nalateswri resides in such a soulful location and has resemblance with Kamakha and Kalighat Shakti peethas. Maa Nalateswri is also praised as Maa or “Bhagobidhata-Nalateswri” or Devi Parvati or Kalika.
