Uma Shakti Peeth Temple
Uma Shakti Peeth Temple in Mathura Vrindavan, also known as Katyayani Shakti Peeth, is one of the 51 revered Shakti Peethas in Hinduism, located in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh. According to legend, the ringlets of Goddess Sati’s hair fell at this sacred spot when Lord Vishnu used his Sudarshan Chakra to dismember her body, leading to its sanctification as a Shakti Peeth. Here, Goddess Sati is venerated as Uma, and Lord Shiva is worshipped as Bhotesh. The temple, constructed in 1923 by Yogiraj Swami Keshvanand Bramachari, features white marble architecture with black stone pillars and is adorned with golden lion statues at its entrance.
This temple is a significant stop in many Mathura Vrindavan Tour Packages From Delhi, attracting devotees seeking blessings for marital harmony and spiritual fulfillment. The temple houses idols of five deities representing different Hindu sects: Goddess Katyayani (Shaktism), Lord Shiva (Shaivism), Lord Lakshmi Narayan (Vaishnavism), Lord Ganesh (Ganapatya), and Lord Surya (Saurya). Notably, the Gopis of Vrindavan worshipped Goddess Katyayani here to attain Lord Krishna as their husband, a tradition that continues with unmarried girls performing the Katyayani Vrat during Navratri.
