Chandika Sthan

Chandika Sthan is a Hindu temple situated in Munger, in the India state of Bihar.

Legendary tales and the Hindu folklore says that it was to save the world from the anger of Shiva, as he took the corpse of Sati and wandered.

The same legend says that the left eye of the Sati fell at Munger, which subsequently developed into a place of worship of the Divine Mother Chandi.

Among the different Shakti peethas Chandika Sthan is famous for the cure of eye troubles, as per the traditional belief of the local folklore.
