Bhawani / Chandranath Temple stands at Chandranath Hill next to Sitakunda, Chittagong District in Bangladesh. It is 310 meters (1,020 feet) above sea level.
Goddess Sati’s right arm fell here.
The medieval chariot of the Chandranath temple is renowned for its wood carvings. Chatgaon, a well-known town in Bangladesh, is where Shakti Peeth Chattal first began. The locals in this particular district also refer to this town as Chitagaon. The ancient name of the Chandranath temple was Sitakund.
According to the Rajmala, a legendary Adisur of Gaur ancestor Raja Biswambhar Sur attempted to travel by water to Chandranath about 800 years ago. Chandranath had accumulated several gifts by the time Dhanya Manikya, the monarch of Tripura, came into power. King Dhanya Manikya, the King of Tripura at that time, presented many gifts and attempted to transport the Shiv ling back with him but he failed.
Here Bhavani is the name of the Devi Sati idol and Lord Shiva, regarded as the Chandrashekhar, is represented by a second idol in this temple. Many locals believe Lord Shiva has dedicated himself to seeing Chandrasekhar Hill throughout the Kali Yuga. The temple’s stone architecture and artwork are astonishing.
