Trisrota · Bodaganj · Jalpaiguri · Teesta River
Where the left leg of Goddess Sati fell in the deep forests of the Dooars — on the banks of the sacred Teesta river in Jalpaiguri, at the threshold of the Himalayan foothills. Bhramari Devi, the Goddess of Sacred Bees, presides at this ancient forest shrine within the Buxa Tiger Reserve — a place where the divine and the wild coexist in extraordinary silence.

Trisrota Bhramari Shaktipeeth stands in Bodaganj village in Jalpaiguri district — on the banks of the Teesta river, in the dense forest threshold of the Dooars, the "doorway" to the Eastern Himalayas. The temple is also called Trisrota ("three streams") for the three channels of the Teesta that converge near this ancient site.
According to the Shakti Peetha tradition, this is the sacred spot where the vama pada — the left leg of Goddess Sati — fell as Lord Vishnu's Sudarshana Chakra dismembered her body. The Goddess is worshipped here as Bhramari — "She of the Bees," the Goddess in her form as swarm of sacred bees — and Shiva is present here as Ishwara, the sovereign lord.
The temple sits within the extraordinary landscape of the Buxa Tiger Reserve — one of the last remaining Dooars forests where elephants, leopards, and the Bengal tiger still roam. This combination of ancient Shakta pilgrimage site and wild forest sanctuary is unique in the entire Shakti Peetha circuit. A forest bungalow is available near the temple, allowing pilgrims to stay overnight in the reserve — an experience that connects the spiritual with the natural in a way no other Peetha offers.
The temple is a modest single-storey red structure enshrining the idol of Devi Bhramari, accompanied by Lord Ishwara. It is part of the celebrated Shaktipeetha Darshan Yatra of West Bengal — the pilgrimage circuit that covers Bengal's fourteen or more Shakti Peethas — and is the northernmost Peetha in the state, closest to the Himalayan foothills.

Visitor Guidelines
Trisrota is both a Shakti Peetha and a wildlife sanctuary. Come with the reverence due to the Goddess and the respect due to the forest — both demand silence, humility, and careful attention.
On the banks of the Teesta, where the Dooars forest meets the Himalayan horizon, Bhramari Devi holds court in her wild sanctuary. Come with the pilgrim's patience for a remote journey, the reverence for a living jungle, and the open heart that the Goddess of Sacred Bees rewards with healing, protection, and the deepest stillness you have ever known.
