Goddess Vimala is an incarnation of Mother Goddess Shakti. She
appeared on earth from the body part of Sati that fell on earth after the
famous episode of Shiva carrying the body of Sati around the universe and
Vishnu cutting it with his Sudarshan Chakra to save the world from total
destruction.
Goddess Vimala appeared where the crown of Goddess Sati fell
on earth.
A group of scholars claim that the spot is located at
Kireetkona village, 3 Km from Lalbagh Court Road station under district
Murshidabad, West Bengal, India.
Some scholars claim that the place is located on the banks
of Ganga at Bhatnagar in Bangladesh. This temple is one among the 51
Shakti Peethas.
Please note that the spot where the navel of Goddess Sati
fell is also dedicated to Goddess Vimla. A popular temple dedicated to Goddess
Vimala is located at Puri in Orissa.
