{{see also|Shakti Peetha}}
[[File:South Indian Temple Tamil1.jpg|thumb|Meenakshi Amman temple in Madurai, Tamil Nadu is a major temple dedicated to Meenakshi, an aspect of Hindu goddess Parvati.]]
Parvati is often present with Shiva in Saivite Hindu temples all over South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Some locations (''Pithas'' or ''Shaktipeeths'') are considered special because of their historical importance and legends about their origins in the ancient texts of Hinduism.<ref>Devangana Desai, Khajuraho, Oxford University Press, {{ISBN|9780195653915}}, pp 42–51, 80–82</ref><ref name=sleuthold>Steven Leuthold (2011), Cross-Cultural Issues in Art: Frames for Understanding, Routledge, {{ISBN|978-0415578004}}, pp 142–143</ref>
