Chandika Asthan is a sacred Hindu temple situated in the town of Munger, in the Indian state of Bihar. Revered as one of the sixty-four Shakti Peethas, Chandika Asthan holds tremendous religious significance and is frequented by devotees throughout the year. According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that the left eye of Sati (the consort of Lord Shiva) fell at this spot during the event of the cosmic disintegration of Sati’s body, hence making it a place of worship for Shakti, the Goddess of power. The temple itself radiates a historical charm combined with spirituality. The architecture is modest yet exudes a sense of ancient heritage. The atmosphere is typically charged with the chants of prayers and rituals performed by the priests. The sanctuary is surrounded by local dwellings, and despite its popularity, it maintains an ambiance of peace and sanctity.
