Answer 1

The Shakti Peethas (places of strength) are places of worship consecrated to the goddess 'Shakti', the female principal of Hinduism and the main deity of the Shakta sect. They are sprinkled throughout the Indian subcontinent.[1]

This goddess is often associated both with Gowrī/Parvati, the goddess of marital felicity and longevity, and with Durga, goddess of strength and valour.
