Architecture
The temple is now a modern mortar contructed temple in a typical Hindu Mandir style with one main and 2 little shorter mounts. The main temple mount could be around 80-100 feet high. It is painted with beautiful white color on base and with red, orange, golden and black on top an the temple has a vast compound area. Entering the main door of the temple there is a circular central well shaped area, where there is a beautiful lotus being constructed and horse idols on the peripheral. Across in front is the main temple room where Maa Bhadrakali's main idol is kept for worshipping and a metal idol of the right ankle of foot placed on the door in front as well. Devotees bow at in front of this idol and then take a Parikrama (circumambulation of shrines) of this temple room. Alongside the parikrama, you worship other God and Goddess idols situated around the main temple room including Maa Saraswati, Maa Gayatri and more. Just right to the main temple room is the open hall created for satsang/ kirtans in front of Shri Hari and his most famous incarnation idols, i.e. Radha-Krishna and Sita-Ram. There after on the left of the main Maa's room there goes a stair to take you to the first floor of the temple, where you find more idols, including a Shiv Lingam, a Beautiful Idol of Lord Rudra carrying Maa Sati's Abode and Lord Vishnu riding his Garuda with his Sudarshan Chakra depicting the event of the legend associated to the Shaktipeethas. Thanesar is derived its name from the words “Sthaneshwar” which means “Place of God”. The consort of Savitri is called Sthanu. Hence, the city is called Sthaneswar or Thanesar.
Religious Significance
Maa Sati is one of the goddess of Indian legends daughter of “King Daksha”. When Sati was young and was growing old, she performed intense sacrament to get Lord Shiv as her husband. But her father was against the marriage; still Maa Sati managed to marry Lord Shiva against her father's will. A day came when King Daksha was performing a Yagya, he asked all the deities to come but he did not invite Sati and Shiv. Sati insisted Shiv for attending the Yagya and Lord Shiv permitted her to go but Lord Shiv did not. On the approval of Lord Shiv, Sati went to attend the Yagya, but her father insulted her and her husband which she could not tolerate. On insult of Lord Shiva by Maa Sati’s father, she threw herself in the sacred fire. When Lord Shiva heard this, he infuriated. Shiva started pacing all over universe with the body of Maa Sati in his arms. He started the ferocious dance forms of destruction of the universe. In order to save the Universe, all the deities and devas went to Lord Vishnu and groveled for help. Lord Vishnu with his Sudharshan Chakra cut her body into many parts. Where ever these parts fell on earth, those places became Shakti peeths. Though there are many Shaktipeethas in this world, however only 51 are considered to have been found.
