About
"Om Sri Sri Bhramari Mata Sharanam"
The "Tri Srota Sri Sri Bodeshwari Shaktipeeth Temple" is where The Divine Mother Is worshipped In The Divine Form Of Mata Bhramari. Tradition holds that The Divine Left Foot (বামপদ ) Of The Divine Mother Came To Rest At The "Tri Srota Sri Sri Bodeshwari Shaktipeeth Temple".
The "Tri Srota Sri Sri Bodeshwari Shaktipeeth Temple" is located in Barashashi Union of Boda Upazila, under Panchagarh district. It stands 27 km south of Panchagarh town by paved road; 26 km from Debiganj town, going north via Bhaulaganj and then west by paved road; and 13 km east of Boda town, where, after crossing by boat at Auliya Ghat beside Mareya Hat, the Shaktipeeth lies 1 km further east.
History
Tradition holds that when Lord Vishnu's discus divided the falling body of Maa Sati to ease Lord Shiva's grief, the thumb of Her left leg fell at this spot beside the Teesta river, and the Goddess remained here as Maa Bhramari, with Shiva present beside Her as Ishwara. The shrine that marks the site is a simple, red-roofed, one-storied Temple at Bodaganj, roughly twenty kilometres from Jalpaiguri town near the Baikunthapur forest tract; no source found records the date of its founding. A pair of banyan trees said to have grown together as one within the Temple grounds is wrapped in cloth by pilgrims, and this same joined tree has been independently photographed and documented at the site a decade apart, in 2015 and again in 2025.
Significance
Trisrota is counted among Bengal's fifty-one Shakti Peethas and draws pilgrims from across North Bengal, though it remains a village shrine rather than a large pilgrimage complex. Visitors researching this Temple should take care not to confuse it with two other Bengali Shakti Peethas that share part of its name: the Bhramari Shaktipeeth at Amta in Howrah district, where the Goddess's knees are said to have fallen, and the Bodeshwari Shaktipeeth of Boda Upazila in Panchagarh district, Bangladesh, where Devi Aparna's ankle is said to have fallen. All three are distinct, genuine Shakti Peethas of Bengali Shakta tradition; only the Jalpaiguri Temple described here is the subject of this record.
