A sacred sanctuary of divine energy

As one of fifty-one holy Siddha Shakti Pithas this temple immerses you in an exquisite divine experience where ancient legends and sacred prayers come alive. Devoted to Hindu goddesses who provide courage and protection from forces of evil this sanctuary brings devotees from near and far for solace and tranquillity like no other can.  With an auspicious aura of Sati, Patan Devi Temple offers solace and tranquillity like no place can.

Unveiling divine marvels

Patan Devi Temple stands as a testament to divine marvels, radiating an aura of spiritual energy within its sacred walls. According to legend, this temple marks the spot where Ma Sati (an incarnation of goddess) fell and her right leg and cloth were left behind, making this site one of the revered Siddha Shakti Pithas across India. Within the temple complex you will discover two sanctuaries dedicated to Ma Sati (also known as Sarwandkaari Patneshwari). As soon as you step foot into the sanctum, your attention will be drawn to the stone statues of Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati and Mahakali sitting atop their respective thrones adorned with saris and crowns. Vyom Bhairav, an embodiment of Lord Shiva, infuses the temple with divine energy and spiritual strength. Witness offerings made at havan kund (fire pit), where worship materials such as sindoor (worship powder) and flowers are offered faithfully to God.

Stories of myth and legend

Patan Devi Temple is steeped in ancient legend and myth. According to legend, its historical significance is evidenced in that its name itself derives from it - this fact alone emphasises its immense historical value. According to ancient legend, this temple marks the site where Lord Vishnu's Sudarshan Chakra severed Ma Sati's right thigh, creating the Siddha Shakti Pitha for all time. Temple history also connects it with three goddesses - Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, and Mahasaraswati - whom it venerates and worships within its sacred premises. Legend has it that at Patan Devi Temple there was once a fierce fight between goddess Durga and Mahishasura that ultimately saw her triumphant. Today it stands as an embodiment of feminine energy - an indication of its permeance throughout creation.
