About

The Harsiddhi Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, where the elbow of Goddess Sati is believed to have fallen. The presiding deity is Harsiddhi, an aspect of Durga.

The temple features two tall pillars holding 11-tiered oil lamps, which are illuminated during the Navratri festival creating a spectacular display. The current structure was built by the Maratha Scindia rulers, though the site's sanctity is ancient.
