Saptashrungi Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Goddess Saptashrungi, located in Vani in Nashik District in Maharashtra State, India. The temple lies atop the cliff with an altitude of 1,230 m. Presiding Deity is surrounded by seven (Sapta in Sanskrit) peaks (shrunga in Sanskrit), hence she came to be called as Sapta Shrungi Mata (mother of the seven peaks).





The Temple is considered as one of 51 Sakthi Peethas, highly revered temples throughout South Asia, that commemorate the location of fallen body parts of the Hindu deity Sati. The temple is also part of the famous three and half Shakti Peethas of Maharashtra. The Marathas and some Bhil tribes worship the goddess from a long time and some worship as their Kuladevatha.
