Resturants Near Bajreshwari Devi Temple
Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India:
Origin as a Shakti Peeth: This temple is one of the 51 sacred Shakti Peethas in India, believed to be the spot where the left breast of Goddess Sati fell after her body was dismembered by Lord Vishnu's Chakra. The presiding deity is Goddess Vajreshwari, an incarnation of Goddess Durga, worshipped in the form of a Pindi (stone idol). The temple is also known as the Kangra Devi Temple. Legend of the Pandavas: Local legend asserts that the original temple was constructed by the Pandavas during their exile from the epic Mahabharata after they were instructed by the Goddess in a dream to build a temple in Nagarkot for their protection. This highlights its deep antiquity in Hindu mythology. Cycles of Destruction and Restoration: Like the neighboring fort, the temple's fame for its wealth made it a target for invaders. It was infamously looted of its gold, silver, and diamonds by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1009 CE and later ransacked by Firoz Shah Tughlaq in 1360. Each time, it was restored by local rulers or patrons like Emperor Akbar's court official, Todar Mal. The entire structure was leveled by the devastating 1905 earthquake but was promptly rebuilt by the Kangra Restoration Committee in the same year, retaining its spiritual significance while featuring unique architectural elements. Worship Tradition: A unique and major annual event is the application of a thick layer of butter (Makhan) to the Pindi during Makar Sankranti in January. This tradition commemorates the Goddess healing her wounds with butter after her battle with the demon Mahishasura, and the butter is later distributed as sacred prasad.
