Bhagwati Sheetla Temple: A Sacred Site of Health and Renewal

Established in 1860, the Bhagwati Sheetla Temple is located near the iconic Dasaswamedh Ghat in Varanasi. Dedicated to Maa Sheetla, also known as Maa Kalratri, the temple is revered as a divine source of health and protection from diseases.

Each year, a unique ritual sees the temple submerged in the waters of the Ganga for three months, symbolizing a renewal of its spiritual energy. Interestingly, there is a belief that in years when the temple remains afloat, pandemics or health challenges occur, adding a mystical connection to its role as a health guardian.

Maa Sheetla, worshipped as the goddess of health, cleanliness, and disease prevention, holds a special place in Hindu culture, especially in North India. Devotees come here seeking her blessings for protection against ailments, particularly fevers and skin diseases. Rituals performed in her honor emphasize cleanliness and well-being, embodying the cultural importance of health in Hindu spirituality.

This temple remains a sacred destination for those seeking both physical and spiritual wellness, merging tradition, spirituality, and nature in a unique experience.

Shri Kamakhya Devi Temple – A Sacred Siddha Peeth of Tantric Worship

Shri Kamakhya Devi Temple, located on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, is counted among the 52 Shakti Peeths as per the Puranas and is considered a twin to the Kashi Kamakhya Devi Temple. In this temple, the idol of the goddess is enshrined as the Shri Mahamudra Yantra, making it a unique Siddha Yantra Peeth where Goddess Kamakhya is venerated as the deity of Tantra.

The temple’s most significant festival is the annual Shri Ambubachi Yoga Festival, celebrated every June during Ardra Nakshatra. During this time, the garbha griha (sanctum) of Mata Shri remains closed for three days. Before the doors close, a white cloth (safed vastra) is offered to the Shri Mahamudra Yantra, and when the doors reopen, this cloth is distributed as prasad. After the three days, the garbha griha is reopened for the Mahabhishek and annual darshan of the Shri Mahamudra Yantra.

A central ritual of the festival is the performance of 108 parikramas (circumambulations). The poojit laal vastra (consecrated red cloth) and the holy water from the abhishek (ritual bath) are highly regarded in religious and Tantric practices for their significance in alleviating suffering and enhancing spiritual protection.

As described in the Kamakhya Tantra:

"Yoni-mantra shariraya Kunjavasini Kamada.
Rajasvala Mahateja Kamakshi Dhyeyatam Sada."

Inside the garbha griha, devotees will find idols of Shri Kodhan Bhairav Ji, Shri Bhadra Kali Ji, Shri Hanuman Ji, and Shri Chausath Yogini Ji, surrounded by the Ashta Bhairavas of Kashi. In the temple courtyard, one encounters sacred deities including Shri Dhriṣhṇameshwar Jyotirling, Shri Dhannajay Kupa, Shri Pratyangira Devi Ji, Shri Jivit Samadhi, and Shri Akhand Dhuna.

This puja, conducted by learned priests, follows strict Tantric rituals and mantra recitation. You can now participate by booking your online puja through the Utsav App. The ceremony will be conducted in your name and gotra, and a complete video of the puja, along with prasad, will be sent directly to your home.
