Bhramari (Tristrota) Temple

On the three-streamed Teesta, the bee-goddess where Sati's leg fell.

In the Jalpaiguri district of northern Bengal, on the bank of the Teesta — called Tri-Srota, the three-streamed, in the Puranas — stands the Bhramari Devi Shakti Peetha. In the tradition of the Peethas, the left leg of Sati fell here, and the Goddess is worshipped as Bhramari, the Mother associated, like Bhramaramba of Srisailam, with the bees, with Ambar as her Bhairava.

The northernmost of the Bengal Shakti seats, set amid the green Dooars country near the Himalayan foothills, Bhramari Devi draws pilgrims of the region and completes the wide sweep of the Mother's Peethas across Bengal — from the coastal plains to the edge of the mountains.
