The Manibandh Shakti peeth in Pushkar is said to be the place where the wrist of the Goddess is said to have fallen. It is located at Gayatri hills near Pushkar and 11 km north-west of Ajmer, Rajasthan and around 5-7 km from the famous Pushkar Bramha temple.
The place, where Goddess Sati’s two manivedikas – wrists fell, is known as Manivedika Temple and the Icon, installed later in the temple is called Gayatri Devi. There are two idols here, one is of Devi Sati and called as Gayatri. The other idol in the temple is of Lord Shiva Known as the Sarvananda (the one who makes everyone happy). Meaning of Gayatri is Saraswati. Saraswati is the goddess of Knowledge in Hindu culture. This temple is considered as the ideal place for Gayatri Mantra sadhana.
The temple is constructed on a hill and made of stones on which various idols of gods and Goddess are engraved. The art and architecture of the temple is commendable and the huge pillars show the grandness of this holy structure.

Navratri that falls two times in a year- one in the month of March or April and other in the September or October month depending on the Hindu calendar, is among the major festival here. Navratri are celebrated for over 9 days, with some people not eating any type of food that is derived from the soil for these nine days. Special ceremonies and rituals are carried during these days.

Since this temple is a little outside the city we left early morning and i must we did the right choice. When we reached there, we found devotees repeatedly chanting the the Gayatri Mantra and there was a completely divine aura all around and this made us feel really good .We were told my one of the devotees that the Pushkara Mela is a grand festival that happens there and a lot of devotes from various parts of the world come down to attend it.
We found it very easy to reach this temple. There were frequent buses and made it very convenient for us. The temple is located on a hill and the deities here are beautifully engraved from stones. In fact the architectural grandness of this temple is commendable and is something one must appreciate. the Gayatri mantra was repeatedly being sung and created a very good energy within the temple.
The huge pillars and the beautiful architecture of this temple is just commendable. We came to this temple during Shiv Rathri and was very fortunate to get a good Darshan. A lot of devotees gathered here and they offered milk and special kind of fruit which i have never seen before called the bail here. The pujas were happening simultaneously and it was so methodical .The smell of the agarbathis , the diya, flowers and fruits made us very happy and contented.
