Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna, is filled with different stories that empower the divine presence in everything. Famous temples in Mathura-Vrindavan are all connected with Lord Krishna’s miraculous stories, along with some extremely powerful shaktipeeth in Mathura.
One of the lesser-known Shaktipeeth is waiting for devotees to unveil the spiritual adventure. Let’s explore the complete information while also having a little glimpse of the other must-visit places in Mathura.
So, the story begins...
Me and my family are fond of discovering religious spots the most. The season of travelling for our family is September. We all decided to meet Bankebihari in Vrindavan—the famous temple in Mathura Vrindavan along with exploring different places as well.
We booked an Ertiga from Delhi, reached Mathura, and stayed in a hotel. In the evening, we dressed up and went out to explore the temples located in Mathura. When asked from some locals, they suggested to visit Bhuteshwar Mahadev Temple.
It’s one of the famous temples in Mathura Vrindavan. It is to be said that the shivling in Bhuteshwar temple has been established in Mathura as a protector of Brijwaasi, where it’s felt and believed that the shield between our physical world and spiritual world is very thin. It means you can clearly experience the presence of powerful energies, bringing positivity and mysteries to unfold.
Moreover, it is inside the gullies of a village with some walking distance. According to the locals, devotees come to seek the blessings of Bhuteshwar Mahadev for the liberation of negative energies and ancestral curses.
The temple's unique architecture and potent energy create an atmosphere that is both captivating and peaceful.
Along with Bhuteshwar Mahadev, there are other gods present to seek blessings. In addition, there is a shivling, which is countless years old and in perfect condition.
The Unexplored Shaktipeeth in Mathura to Must-Visit
Now here comes the hot topic of this article. An unexplored Shaktipeeth in Mathura Vrindavan.
After seeking blessings of Bhuteshwar Mahadev, we were guided downwards with a flight of stairs, and the energy was completely different, as if the atmosphere were untouched by the time.
The atmosphere was cold and peaceful, and our eyes saw a beautiful and fiery murti of a devi.
She is Maa Pataal Devi, one of the most powerful Shaktipeeth in Mathura, residing in Pataal. She's also called Maa Katyani Uma.
It is said that Mata Sati’s ringlet (small curl of hair) was dropped from the sky when Lord Vishnu ripped Mata Sati’s body when Shiv Ji was carrying her corpse in his lap.
Maa Pataal Devi’s famous temple in Mathura is underground, and photographs are not allowed, even though you aren’t allowed to enter her Garv Goofa (Cave). You can seek her blessings at the gate and ask Pandit to dedicate the things you want to offer her.
The most shocking and miraculous thing about Maa Pataal Devi is that she’s very active and alive, as her hair grows and falls on the own.
Shocking, Right? Yaa, I know. Even though I was jaw-dropped.
Therefore, this shaktipeeth in Mathura uncovers a unique phase of the divine feminine; Mata Sati, enriching your spiritual understanding with cosmic energy vibes.
