Nandikeshwari Temple, Hindu temple in Sainthia, India
The temple contains a black stone idol of Goddess Nandikeshwari, covered in red sindur and decorated with a silver crown and three golden eyes.
Built in 1913, the temple marks the location where Sati's necklace fell according to Hindu mythology, establishing it as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas.
Devotees participate in special ceremonies during Baishakhi Purnima and Buddha Purnima, performing yagna rituals and offering prayers to the goddess.
The temple complex includes multiple shrines dedicated to deities such as Ram-Sita, Shiva, Maha Saraswati, and Hanuman, allowing visitors to worship at different locations.
A large sacred banyan tree stands within the temple grounds where followers attach red and yellow threads while making their prayers and wishes.
