A Sanctum of Cosmic Strength and Sacred Lineage

Among the 51 holy Shakti Peethas of the subcontinent, Sravani Shakti Peeth occupies a singular place in the spiritual geography of South Asia. Here, at Kumari Kunda near Sitakunda in Chittagong, the spine of Goddess Sati is believed to have descended — making this sacred ground a perpetual conduit of divine energy.

Worshipped here as Goddess Sravani, the Mother is accompanied by her Bhairav, Nimish — guardian of the sanctified threshold. For centuries, sages, seekers, and pilgrims have journeyed across borders to receive her grace. Today, Sravani Shakti Peeth stands as a beacon of Shakta devotion, Bengali heritage, and Indo–Bangladesh civilisational kinship.

The Eternal Story

When the Mother's Body Fell to Earth

From the unbearable grief of Lord Shiva, who carried the lifeless form of his beloved Sati across the cosmos, the universe trembled. To restore the cycle of dharma, Lord Vishnu released his Sudarshan Chakra — and the body of the Devi was divided into 51 sacred portions.

Where her spine fell, the soil of Sitakunda was forever sanctified. The mountains rose to honour her. The rivers turned in homage. The very air vibrated with the silent syllable of her name — Sravani.

"Wherever a fragment of the Mother fell, there the earth itself became Goddess — and the Peeth was born."
