Sri Sri Mahalakshmi Bhairavi Griva Maha Shaktipeeth, Dakkhin Surma Upazila, Sylhet

["Located in Jainpur, the southern part of Surmar in Sylhet city, the Shri Shri Mahalakshmi Bhairavi Griba Mahapith is an important pilgrimage site for followers of Sanatana Dharma. The widely revered and renowned place is worshipped here as Mahalakshmi Bhairavi, regarded as the true Griba or Khandeshwar pitha; the primary deity is worshipped here as Mahalakshmi Bhairavi. Without explaining both the deity's form in this pitha and the common practice of Lakshmi puja, it is necessary to understand the site's suitability through the traditions of local Shakti worship.", "Although the main worship site is on the eastern side, the upper part is open — this is a special feature of the temple. The worship of the pitha's guardian Bhairavi is conducted at a separate place near the Gotatikar's Shiva Tila. The Bengali description refers to it as Sarvananda, while the English description calls it Sambhananda. Although the Jainpur deity pitha and this Shiva Tila are related religious sites, they are located separately on the map.", "Alongside daily worship, many devotees gather for the annual Mahalakshmi Bhairavi puja in Chaitra, along with Chandipath, Anjali, Kirtan, and Mahaprasad offerings. The Sharadiya Durga puja is also performed here. News has been reported that Kumari puja will be conducted twice here during Mahashtami in October 2026."]
