SAHKTHIPEETHAS

1. HINGALA - KOTARI SHRINE

It is here fell Mother Sati's Brhamarandhra - the fontanels, the supposed quitting place of soul after death, when Mahavishnu's Sudarsan Chakra spilt the Sati's corpse borne by Lord Siva during the frenzied Thandavanrithya that made the planets go off the track and the worlds shook in fear as chaos that developed all on a sudden and robbed the sanity of the wisest men. The presiding goddess is called Kotari and the name of kshetrapalaka is Bhimalochana. As exhaustive information regarding the architecture or sculpture, patrons or endowments are not given, nothing definite can be given. If the readers understand that it is sanctified by the presence of a sacred part and pay homage to it, I presume they are spiritually elevated and physically comforted. Offering mental worship even fetches merit, according to scriptures. So do what is advocated for your good and to mankind.
