Located in Nandipur Village, now a part of Sainthia town, Birbhum, West Bengal, Nandikeshwar Temple is also known as Nandipur Shakti Peeth. This temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas of Goddess Sati, and these Shakti Peethas are spread across the Indian subcontinent. Goddess Sati's Necklace is said to have fallen at this place. It is a belief that the goddess dwelled at a turtle-shaped rock, which is utterly painted through vermillion. This appearance of the goddess has three golden eyes and a silver crown. Also, the spiritual tree in the temple complex is believed to fulfill all the desires, after tying a red thread on the tree. The small temples of other deities are also situated in the complex, such as Lord Vishnu temple, Lord Rama, Goddess Sita temple, Dashabvataar temple, and Lord Hanuman temple. Goddess Sati is placed as ‘Nandini’ and Lord Shiva as ‘Nandikeshwar’ in the temple. Goddess Saraswati temple, Navadurga temple, Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesha temple are few other temples.
The ‘anna-bhog’ is offered to Goddess in the afternoon on a daily basis. Special customs and rituals are performed on the Kali Puja and Amavasya (new moon day). During these festivals of Durga Puja and Navratri, some people observe fast (not eating food) to give respect and honor to god. The temple is adorned with flowers and lights during festival days.
