If we are to look for the origins of the #Yoginis, it appears that we must turn to the simple village cult & to the #GramaDevatas/ #GramaDevatis, the local village #gods & #goddesses. In villages of #India they are the favoured #deities

#DidYouKnow Maa Bimala at the Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri receives non-vegetarian offerings during Durga Puja!!

Fish and goat are sacrificed as part of secret Tantric rituals on Maha Saptami, Maha Ashtami and Maha Navami. (Source - Orissa Review)

These rituals take place at night and must be completed before dawn, ahead of the opening of Shree Jagannatha’s temple doors for morning rituals.

The Maa Bimala Temple, located inside Shree Mandira in Puri, is one of the revered Shakti Peethas.

This ancient tradition reflects the unique coexistence of Odisha’s Shakta and Vaishnava traditions within the same temple complex.
