        Sthala Puran

        Katyayani Peeth Vrindavan, otherwise known as uma shaktipeeth, is one among the 51 Shakti Peethas. It is said that the Ringlets of Hair of Maa Sati fell here when lord Vishnu in order to relieve lord Shiva from the grief of losing his wife Sati, used his ‘Sudarshan Chakra’ to incise Maa Sati Body. Here the idol of Maa Sati is called ‘Uma,’ and Lord Shiva is worshiped as ‘Bhotesh.’

        The most significant thing about this temple is that here five separate deities of the five sects or sampradayas are worshipped. Each idol is worshipped by the sampradaya’s different worship methodology. Also, the Ashtadhatu idol of Goddess Katyayani was installed after the performance of Sanatan Dharm rites by religious scholars or pandits from Varanasi, Bengal, etc. Along with the goddess Katyayani (Shakti sampradaya), other idols installed are Lord Shiva (Shaiv sampradaya), Lord Laxmi Narayan (Vaishnav sampradaya), Lord Ganesh (Ganpataya sampradaya), Lord Surya (Surya Sampradaya). Along with these five main deities, Jagatdhatri Devi is also worshipped here.

        The Katyayani Peeth temple has undergone a lot of renovations over the decade, but the main part of the temple is still intact. From the outside, the whole temple is made of white marble, and huge pillars support the temple. Pillars are made with black stone and present a picturesque view. Just adjacent to the steps that lead to the main courtyard, two golden-colored lions are standing, and they represent the vehicle or vahana of Maa Durga. Devi has got a sword in the temple, which is popularly known as Uchawal chandrahaas.
