About

Pitambara Peeth in Datia is one of the most powerful tantric Shakti shrines in North India, dedicated to Goddess Baglamukhi (or Pitambara). The yellow-clad goddess is believed to have the power to paralyze one's enemies.

The temple draws politicians, lawyers, and military personnel seeking favor before elections, court cases, and battles — a tradition that has continued for centuries. The goddess is one of the ten Mahavidyas.
