History & significance

A Siddhpeeth on a Garhwal Himalayan ridge at about 2,277 m in Tehri district, where the goddess is worshipped not as an image but as a Shri Yantra carved into a flat stone. An annual fair is held in April.

Sthala katha — the legend

The site is held to be where the torso of Sati fell as Shiva carried her body, her weapons scattering across the hill, which iron tridents at the shrine are said to recall.
