Kalighat Shakthi Peeth is one of the important Adi Shakthi Peethas. Goddess Kali is worshipped as a manifestation of Devi Sati. Devi Sati’s right toes fell in the Kalighat shrine. There is also a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva worshipped as Nakulesh in lingam form nearby. Kolkatta gets its name from Kalighat.

Bahula Devi Shakthi Peeth is the place where Sati’s left hand fell. Sati is worshipped as Bahula Devi (Bahula means Abundant) and Lord Shiva as Bhiruk or sarvasiddhidayak.
