Sakti
Upasana enjoins adoration to five Mahasaktis going by the sacred names of
Saraswathi, Gayatri, Savitri, Shashti and Bhuvaneswari. Worship gets completed
only on offering prayers to these august mortis Each goddesses has her
independent entity and differs from the others in shape, size and appearance, beside
wielding powers. And each has her own dominion and portfolio. Each has
a distinct upasana although they are the manifestations of Omkaras warupini Adi
Parasakti. These
Pancha matrukas are installed here and are receiving regular ritualistic worship
with due devotional fervour. And there is a belief current that all the visitors
must worship them invariably on the yatra trip and the visit becomes complete only
when adored. Further to see these august mortis in one place and offering
worship is deemed a great fortune obtained at a
time. Of course, individually as a matter of fact. Hence the guides take the
visitors to this shrine indispensably before leaving the precincts. Locals having realised the significant parts played by them fail not availing their
darsan on important festival days, besides their rout-dine visits. Agamic puja is
offered as regularly as equality as self.
This lies in the campus of Lord Jagannath temple at Puri, w accessible by bus
and train.
