Ugratara Temple is dedicated to Goddess Ugratara and is
located in the interiors of Saharsa Distrct in Bihar. The temple is around 35
km from Saharsa Railway Station. Ugratara Mandir is considered as a
Shaktipeetah as the black eyeball of the left eye of the Devi fell here. It is
believed that Goddess Ugratara is located inside the left eye ball of Mother
Goddess Shakti.
The temple came into being after Goddess Ugratara appeared
in the dream of Rani Padmavati, wife of king Hitendranarayana Singh. The dream
gave the exact location of the murti of Goddess and the Rani discovered it. She
then worshipped the Goddess here.
A floor of the temple has several murtis of Hindu Gods and
Goddesses discovered from nearby areas.
Tuesday is the most important day in the temple.
