Shankari Devi is a form of Adi Parashakti, worshipped as one of the Shakti Peethas. According to the Puranas:
When Sati Devi, the first wife of Lord Shiva, immolated herself at her father Daksha’s yajna, Shiva was consumed with grief. He carried her body and wandered in destruction across the universe.
To restore balance, Lord Vishnu cut Sati’s body with his Sudarshana Chakra, scattering the pieces across the Indian subcontinent. These places became the Shakti Peethas, each where a part of Sati fell and is eternally worshipped as a form of Shakti.
At Trincomalee in Sri Lanka, it is said that Sati’s groin (yoni) fell, making it one of the most sacred sites. Here, she is worshipped as Shankari Devi.
🌺 Where She is Worshipped
The most famous shrine of Shankari Devi is at Trincomalee, Sri Lanka, atop a cliff overlooking the ocean. This temple is believed to be established by Ravana himself, a great devotee of Lord Shiva and Shakti.
Unfortunately, the original temple was destroyed by Portuguese invaders in the 17th century, but the sanctity of the site remains, and devotees still revere the place as a Shakti Peetha.
Even today, pilgrims from India and Sri Lanka visit Trincomalee, offering prayers, flowers, and lamps to Shankari Devi.
✨ How She is Worshipped
Devotees perform special pujas during Navaratri, offering red flowers, fruits, and coconuts.
Fasting and reciting Devi Mahatmyam is also common at this Shakti Peetha.
She is worshipped as the protector goddess of Lanka, blessing her devotees with courage, power, and divine protection against enemies.
💫 In essence: Shankari Devi is the eternal Shakti who reminds us that even in loss, the Mother’s power spreads everywhere, protecting her children across the world.
