Shree Harsiddhi Temple

🌸 Harsiddhi Temple – A Sacred Shakti Peetha in Ujjain

Harsiddhi Temple is one of the most powerful Shakti Peethas in India—a divine place where the hand of Goddess Sati is believed to have fallen during Lord Shiva’s cosmic dance of grief. Located near Ram Ghat on the banks of the Shipra River, this ancient temple carries deep spiritual energy and historical importance.

According to legend, when Sati gave up her life, Lord Shiva carried her body in pain. Wherever her body parts fell, those places became sacred shrines—Shakti Peethas. In Ujjain, her hand landed at this very site, making Harsiddhi Mata the kuldevi (family goddess) of King Vikramaditya and thousands of devotees since then.
