Maa Matangi Dham
The Divine Presence of Matanga Spirits at Maa Matangi Divya Dham
Maa Matangi Divya Dham is not just a powerful spiritual center—it is a sacred place where the boundaries between the physical and subtle realms dissolve. Here, devotees not only find relief from their sufferings through the blessings of Maa, but divine beings from other realms also come to witness her grace.
A Mysterious Divine Leela Between Midnight and 2 AM
Every night, especially between 12 AM and 2 AM, mysterious yet divine events unfold. From the dense forest situated in front of the Dham, Matanga Bhootas (Matanga Spirits) emerge. These beings are around 50 feet tall—not terrifying or ghostly, but instead calm, radiant, and filled with divine energy.
They appear in complete silence, have the darshan of Maa Matangi, and return quietly into the forest—without disturbing a single leaf.
Matanga Bhootas – The Divine Servants of Maa
The Matanga Bhootas are not ghosts in the traditional sense. They are divine warriors, realized souls from past lives, or special celestial attendants of Maa Matangi.
They remain invisible to ordinary eyes, yet their presence can be deeply felt by a devoted heart.
Not Fear—but a Profound Spiritual Experience
Those who witness these Matanga Bhootas do not feel fear. Instead, a deep sense of inner peace arises.
A powerful vibration, divine inspiration, and reverence towards Maa's immense energy fills the heart.
What Message Does This Vision Hold?
This phenomenon clearly reveals that
Maa Matangi's Dham is not limited to the human realm. Even divine warriors come here with deep reverence.
Her service and devotion transcend the boundaries of the body—
Devotion is eternal, and Maa's devotees—regardless of their form—always remain at her feet.

Maa Chinnamasta
You must have seen a picture of Jagadamba in which the mother has a sword in one hand and her own head in the other hand. Three streams of blood are gushing out from her headless torso. Those streams of blood are entering her three mouths. A man and a woman are also seen under the feet of the mother.
Out of the ten Mahavidyas, the sixth Mahavidya is called Maa Chinnamasta. Chinnamasta means the goddess with a severed head. According to Hindu mythological stories, Chinnamasta is actually the divine incarnation of Mother Kali because she is called the mother who takes away life along with being the life-giver. In many parts of the country, she is also called 'Prachanda Chandika' or 'Chhinnamastika'. That form is of the fifth mother Chinnamasta or Chinnamastika out of the ten Mahavidyas.
