About
At a distance of about 60 km from the main area of the town, Mashishamardini Temple is a serene and marvellous place of worship that has witnessed heavy pilgrimage throughout its long history. It belongs to one of the forty-seven 'Shakti Pith' temples scattered across the Indian subcontinent. This site of worship - dedicated to a variant of goddess Durga known as Bakranath - is steeped in mythology. The story goes that the temple is built on the point where the forehead and eyebrows of Sati fell during her immolation at the hands of Lord Vishnu's weapon. Devotees visit this historically significant site throughout the year. Additionally, there's more than a hundred subsidiary shrines to Shiva in the nearby area. So whether you worship the local goddess, or are not of faith and otherwise interested in mythology, this site shouldn't be missed on your trip to Bakreswar.
