Devi’s Foot Fell During Dance Tripurasundari Temple

Legend has it that Goddess Uma's right foot fell during Her Dance competition with Lord Shiva. The temple in Tripura, North East of India, dedicated to Tripurasundari is also one of the SakthiPeetas, where Sati's right foot fell. There are two identical images of the same deity inside the temple. They are known as Tripura Sundari (5 feet high) and Chhotima (2 feet high) in Tripura. The idol of Maa Kali is worshiped at the temple of Tripura Sundari in the form of 'Soroshi'. One is made of kasti stone which is reddish black in colour.
