Asta Dasa Shakti Peethas are the 18 Shaktipeeth temples or prominent & most auspicious temples dedicated to Goddess Shakti. It is believed that these temples are most ancient in Hinduism and considered as the heavenly abodes of the Goddess.
As per the legend of Sati Devi and Daksha Yagna, Goddess Sati’s slashed body parts were fallen all over the places and since then those holy places have become Shakti Peethas.
There are three Shakti Peethas in Andhra Pradesh; two each in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Jammu Kashmir; and one each in Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Assam, West Bengal, and Bihar. Shankari Devi Shakti Peetham is located in Trincomali of Sri Lanka.

Hi All: I went to Aalampur on sep 15 2012. I was my pleasure to share the memories of holy place of Aalampur Jogulamba devi’s temple.,located at bank of Tungabadra(Uttara Pravahani, also referred as Dakshina Kaasi) Mahaboob Nagar District, 200 km from Hyderabad.
There are several Historical temples like Sangameswara , Navabramha Temples with remarkable architectural sklills as compared to Ramappa.Coming to Jogulamba temple is surrounded by water like Bramha temple in Chebrolu , Guntur District.
In Aalampur temples were contructed like Konark Surya Bhagavan, according history those Architectures migrate from AP and constructed same structure in Konark.
All tenmples were constructed using Sandstone.
Facilities: There are cottages available from AP Tourism Haritha hotels and tiffin centres.
Road Condition: Aalampur is well connected by roads from Kurnool and Hyderabad.
Places to visit: Navabramha temples, Sangameswara temple, Architectural Museum and Tungabadra river.
Speciality: Purohit’s in Sangameswara and Jogulamba temples were very expressive and they explained the history about temples and surroundins with great patience.

Thanks for providing list of 18 shakti peethas. Every year i am visiting on shakti peetha. This year i go to Andhra Pradesh for visit srisialam shakti peetha of these 18 shakti peethas.
http://104.155.204.4/vratas-pujas/durga-navratri-at-srisailam-bramarambika-mallikarjuna-swamy-temple/
I heard that all these 18 shakti peetas not in india.. can you please give list of astadasha shakti peethas in india.
all these shakti peeth was in india but india split into many countries… before all these happens there was 18 shakti peeth india.
Are there 18 shakti peethas in all countries or is it only in india we have these shakti peetas
among all these the most powerful shakti peetha is in assam which is dedicated to kamakhya devi. You have to visit it once in your lifetime to experience the vibration in the temple
guruji,
have you missed lankayam shankari devi temple in these astadasa shakti peethas in india or it names with different?
Divya,
first of all I appreciate you very much for your interest on this matter now a days. LANKAYAM SANKARI DEVI IS the first shakthi peetha which was in trinkomali. foreign rulers demolished it. some people tells that at the time of demolition local people removed the original shrine an performed punahprathista at koneswara temple in Trinkomali. if you have any further doubts about shakti peethas or jyothirlingas mail me to mksmohan123@yahoo.com.
does any one have the 18 shakti peethas map which will be useful for all devotees to travel. i would like to travel to all shakti peetas. is there any order in which we have to cover the places of worship in india or can we do in any random way as per convenience.
can you please post the 18 shakti peethas photos and also can we use this for worship at home and office. some people say that we should not keep chamundeshwari photo but however we have kamakshi temple kanchi photo in our house and we worship it daily
Ramyaji, you can keep photo off any avathar off goddess lalitha.she is such a pleasent goddess.the person who prays Lalitha,chamundeswari or Kali, there will be lot off benifits which are mentioned in DEVIKHADGAMALA. If you have any difficulties or torture by any person, thefts, skudra effects like banamathi,chethabadi,all types of uncured diseases will be solved with in no time.those who do NAVAVARANA PUJA in DASARA with full belief you only feel the actual effects.so you can perform devi puja with out fear.if any one miscomunicated you about goddess you can cotact at any time. my no is 9701720004.thank you for your interest on goddess.
is there actually shakti peeth in kashmir because last time i went to kashmir and asked many people but no one was aware of it or any other shakti peetha in kashmir. most people over there have no idea about indian temples. Even though it is saraswati shakti peeth
do you have the shloka for the ashtadasa shakti peeth which was written by adi shankaracharya. Should we recite this everyday in puja . One of the priests i met said that we would get the benefits of visiting all the shakti peethas by just reciting this shloka
the kamakshi temple in kanchi is one the most happening shakti peethas in india. Everyday thousands of pilgrims come to the place and have darshan of the Devi
kamakshi temple kanchipuram is excellent temple in kanchi… i think kanchipuram temple of kamakshi is one of the best ashtadasa shakti peethas
is there any shakti peethas in telangana districts
Alampur shakti peetha godess is Jogulamba is in mahabood nagar district of telangana region in andhra pradesh
can you provide the 18 shakti peetha mantra from shankaracharya

Dear All ,
I am a strong beliver of hindu religion. But often I am confused when I try to analyse it. For example why do we not find any shakti peeth in USA,UK etc places. Or else was all the hindu goddess limited to asian continent only. BUT I ALSO BELIVE TRUTH ONLY PREVAILS WITH TIME. IF that is so god will it be possble to find those in various puranas. DO we know the exact locations of places like jamudeep and various parvata mentioned in those puranas. Do we have any research documented.
Also point to be noted we have every detail about mahadev or Brahma or vishnu ji. but we do not know the dates of their deeds. Why were those not dated
Is there any document that we know about all these.
