33rd Chandi, Lalita & Rudra Homas (Pithapuram, AP, India)
August 28 All day

Sri Rajarajeshwari Peetham Peetham is performing the 33rdd Chandi homam out of 108 (sankalpam) at Pithapuram, Puruhutika Peetham, AP, India, along with other powerful Shakti Homas like Varahi, Lalitha and Rudra.
Pithapuram is also known as Dakshina Kasi. The Puruhutika devi Temple (Puruhutika Peetham) inside the Kukkudeshwara Temple is a Shakti Peetha where Sati (goddess)’s Left hand fell. The etymology of the location (Peetha Puram or Pithapuram) comes associated with the presence of this Shakti Peetha in the area.
History of this Temple
Puruhutika Devi was worshiped by Lord Indra. When Indra betrayed Ahilya (wife of Gautama Maharishi) on the way to Gautama Rishi and was cursed by Maharishi. Indra lost his testicles and also got vaginal marks all over his body.
He felt really sorry and prayed to sage Gautam. The sage informed and accepted that the yoni marks would appear like eyes so that Indra would henceforth be called Sahasraksha. Indra lost his testes. He wanted to do good to them back. He left his kingdom, went to Pithika Puri and did penance for Jaganmata.
