Tara Tarini Mandir is a Hindu temple of Adi Shakti on the Kumari hills on the bank of Rushikulya near Purushottampur in Ganjam district of Odisha, around 28km from Brahmapur city. Brahmapur (BAM) is a major Railway Station on the Howrah – Chennai rail line.

The main idols inside the garbagriha (Main House) are two stone female faces adorned with gold and sliver ornaments. Two brass heads representing their Chalanti Pratima (Live Form) are in between. There is also a small murti (dity) of the Buddha in the garbhagriha.

The temple is one of the four Adi Shakti Pithas: the others being the Kamakhya Temple where the genitals fell, the Vimala Temple where the feet fell, and the Kalighat Kali Temple where the toes of the right foot fell. It is said that Tara Tarini Mandir is located where Maa Sati’s breasts fell.
