Kiriteswari Temple is situated in Kiritkona village under the Nabagram in Murshidabad district in the state of West Bengal. This is one of the Sati peeth among the 51 Shakthi peeths. According to belief, the âcrownâ or the kirit of Sati Devi had fallen here. Here Devi is worshipped as Vimala or pure and Shiva as Sangbart or Sambarta. The Shakti Peet at Maa Kiriteswari temple is considered as an Upapeeta, as no limb or part of the body fell here, but only a portion of her ornament fell here. It is one among the handful of temples in Bengal where no deities but an auspicious black stone is worshipped.ki
