Uttar Pradesh cabinet minister Shrikant Sharma said instructions have been issued to all the officials concerned to ensure that the devotees can have the glimpse of the Goddess at different Shakti Peeths in the state during the Navaratri festival.
"Arrangements of drinking water and 24-hour power supply to the Shakti Peeths will also be made. Health camps will be set up, so that any patient could be attended in case of any emergency," Sharma said.
At least four out of 52 Shakti Peeths are located in Uttar Pradesh.
According to the Hindu mythology, the Shakti Peeths are places of worship dedicated to the Hindu Goddess 'Shakti'.
During the nine-day Navaratri festival special prayers are offered to the deity.
