Nandikeshwari at Sainthia
Birbhum district describes Nandikeshwari as a Peetha associated in tradition with Sati's necklace. Its account dates the present temple to 1913. This is a clear example of why a temple's construction date and a much older devotional narrative should be stated separately.
Nandipur is the Peetha name used in this directory, while Sainthia is the town name that helps locate the shrine. Use both when comparing railway, map and temple references.
Names recorded in the tradition
- Goddess
- Mata Nandini
- Bhairava
- Nandikeshwar
- Sati association in this list
- Necklace (Har)
These are devotional associations, not archaeological findings. Lists and local identifications can differ.
