Welcome to the sacred Uma Shakti Peeth in Mathura — one of the revered 51 Shakti Peethas in India, where Goddess Parvati (Uma) is worshiped as the divine mother and source of universal energy. This temple is a significant pilgrimage destination for Shakti devotees and also holds a special place in Mathura’s spiritual landscape.
This complete guide offers all the essential Uma Shakti Peeth Mathura darshan information, including timings, history, rituals, festivals, travel tips, and nearby attractions — ensuring you have a fulfilling and memorable visit.
The Shakti Peethas are sacred sites where body parts of Goddess Sati are believed to have fallen during Lord Shiva’s cosmic dance of grief, following her self-immolation at the Daksha Yagna. According to legend, at the Uma Shakti Peeth Mathura, the ringlets of Goddess Sati’s hair (Kesh) are said to have fallen, sanctifying the spot.
Here, the Goddess is worshiped as Uma — a gentle and benevolent form of Parvati — while Lord Shiva is venerated as Bhairav Vapi. The temple is considered a source of spiritual strength, divine grace, and protective blessings for devotees.
The temple’s origins date back to ancient times, with mentions in various Puranas and sacred texts. Over the centuries, saints, local rulers, and devotees have contributed to its maintenance and expansion. While the original shrine was modest, later renovations introduced intricate carvings, decorative arches, and a sanctum that reflects both simplicity and grandeur.
Uma Shakti Peeth has long been a hub for Shakti worship in the Braj region, attracting not only pilgrims but also scholars of Tantra and Devi Bhakti.
