Bhramari Shaktipeeth Devi Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Goddess Sati located in Bodaganj Village in Jalpaiguri District in West Bengal, India. Bhramari Shaktipeeth Temple is located on the banks of the Tista River, this is one of the reasons why it is also known as Tristrota Shakti Peeth. The Temple is among 51 Shaktipeeth Temples.
Additionally, Devi Bhramri is one of the manifestations of the Goddess of Strength and Power, Devi Adi Shakti. Since this Shakti Peeth was formed centuries ago, it is still unknown when exactly the temple was built. It is believed that the Mata Bhramri Devi Temple was formed by the Vama Pada, or when Shakti’s left leg, fell here.
The Purana says that Arun Asura conquered the Heavens (swarglok) and drove all Gods out of their opulent homes. The repulsive Asura also attempted to conquer the Gods’ wives. The Goddess then prayed to Goddess Parmeshwari, who then transformed into a large bee and attacked the demon with a swarm of bees. The honey bees destroyed the chest of Asura and killed him. As a saviour and protector of humanity, the divine mother is also referred to as Bhramari Devi or Bumblebee from that point on.
It is believed that the Vama Pada or the left leg of Sati or Shakti fell at this place to form the Mata Bhramri Devi Temple.
