Construction of Grand Peethambara Shakti Peeth in Banswara: A Divine Endeavor Unveiled

A grand and majestic Peethambara (Bagalamukhi) Shakti Peeth is planned to be constructed in the premises of the Shri Peethambara Ashram in Banswara at a cost of two and a half crore rupees. A comprehensive outline was developed during a crucial meeting of district officials and practitioners held on Thursday at the Shri Hanumatpith Sadhana and Training Center by the Gayatri Mandala.

Chaired by the chief guardian of the Gayatri Mandala, former commissioner Dilip Gupta, the meeting extensively deliberated on fulfilling the commitment of the Peethambara Shakti Peeth, which has been ongoing for four decades. Detailed discussions were held on various aspects related to the form of the Shakti Peeth, dimensions of construction, and site selection, with reference to ground maps. Renowned experts in architecture, including Arvind Malviya, coordinator of the Architectural Council Chandrashekhar Joshi, specialist engineer Anant Gupta, Gayatri Mandala's vice chairman Manohar Joshi, secretary Vinod Shukla, assistant secretary Subhash Bhatt, co-coordinator of the Peethambara Council Pandit Madhusudan Vyasa, program coordinator of the ashram Pandit Manoj Narhari Bhatt, Ramesh R. Bhatt, Ajay Adhikari, Anil Pandya, among others, expressed their views during the meeting.

This divine and sacred site, to be built in Banswara, will be the first of its kind Peethambara Shakti Peeth in Rajasthan. Alongside the main deity in the form of Goddess Bagalamukhi, statues of Ganesha, Bhairav, Shiva, and others will be installed. Following the meeting, a team of the main guardian of the mandala, Dilip Gupta, construction expert engineer Anant Gupta, nationally renowned architectural expert Arvind Malviya (Pindwara), architect Chandrashekhar Joshi, and technical experts conducted a technical survey of the ashram's land, marking the site for the Shakti Peeth and finalizing the temple construction blueprint. Now, based on this, the construction work of the Shakti Peeth will be planned and executed.

Along with the Shakti Peeth, tasks such as parking, greenery expansion, and creation of divine gardens will be undertaken. In this Shakti Peeth, training in Goddess Sadhana will be available for divine practitioners and saints, along with resources and guidance for seekers. This grand temple of Goddess Bagalamukhi in Rajasthan will ensure comprehensive facilities and guidance for divine practitioners on a large scale.

Dilip Gupta, the main guardian of the Gayatri Mandala, stated in the meeting that this work will be accomplished through the contributions of adherents of Sanatan Dharma, practitioners of Peethambara Sadhana, and supporters. Additionally, in the next phase, the construction of a cowshed will also be carried out. The progress of the ongoing construction work at the Shri Peethambara Ashram since November 2023 was reviewed during the meeting, and satisfaction was expressed regarding these endeavors.
