Out of the 51 shakti peethas, the Tara Tarini Temple is one among the 4 Adi Shakti Peethas. The temple is located around 25km from Berhampur of Odisha
Legend has it that Lord Shiva started performing Rudra Tandava, the dance of destruction, holding the half burnt corpse of his beloved wife, Goddess Sati after her self immolation. To stop this fierce dance, Lord Vishnu threw his Sudarshana chakra on the body of Sati, which then got dismembered and fell at different places.
These sites where her limbs have fallen are worshipped as Shakti Peethas. Tara Tarini Temple is where her breasts fell, and the shire here is also known as the Breast shrine.
The twin goddesses Tara and Tarini are worshipped here. This shakti peeth is also known as Kalyani Dham.
Indian Navy’s sailboat INSV Tarini was named after Tara Tarini hill shrine.

“One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls his mind and senses is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to him. Though always working, such a man is never entangled.”
