History & tradition
The Vajreshwari Devi Temple, also called the Brajeshwari Devi, Bajreshwari Mata or Kangra Devi Temple, is in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. It is dedicated to Durga in her fierce form as Vajreshwari, the goddess of the thunderbolt; the name comes from the Sanskrit vajra, ‘thunderbolt’, and ishwari, ‘goddess’. The temple is one of the 51 Shakta pithas, where the left breast of Sati is believed to have fallen. The complex has several smaller temples of other deities, including one of Bhairava.
