Katyayani Peeth Temple

The Katyayani Peeth in Vrindavan, also known as Uma Shakti Peeth is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas. The idol of Sati is worshipped here in the form of Uma. It is believed that when Lord Vishnu used his Sudarshan Chakra to cut Maa Sati’s body to relieve Lord Shiva from the sorrow of losing his wife, the ringlets of her hair fell in this place.

Katyayani Peetha has five different forms of worship – Goddess Uma (Shakti), Lord Shiva (Shiva), Lord Lakshmi Narayan (Vaishnava), Lord Surya (Saurya), and Lord Ganesha (Ganpataya). Jagatdhatri Devi is also worshipped here.
