Siddhapith

(“seat of the perfected”) Name denoting
a site believed to have particular power
in conferring spiritual attainments upon
those who carry out religious practices
there. This power is usually tied to a
mythic charter in which a deity became
resident at the site—and is thus still present to assist people—but such sites
have often been further sanctified by the
presence of charismatic ascetics whose
lives and spiritual discipline serve as
examples to others.
