The primary sacred places of the goddess are the Shakti Pithas and they are variously described in different texts as being 18, 51, 52 or 108 in number, each of these sites being associated with a particular part of Shakti's body. This list of Ashtadasa Shakti peethas is collected from a Shloka written by Adi Shankaracharya.
