The Shakti Peethas (holy places of cosmic and enormous power) are places of worship of Goddess.
Goddess Sati is the incarnation of Maa Parvati, the kindly goddess of harmony, marital felicity and
longevity, with Durga, goddess of strength and valour, and with Mahakali, goddess of destruction of the
evil.

According to Hindu Mythology and Legend, in the SatYuga, Daksha performed a yajna (Yagya) with a
desire to take revenge on Lord Shiva. Daksha was angry because his daughter Dakshayani also known
as Sati had married the 'yogi' God Shiva against his wish. Daksha invited all the deities to the yagna
except for Shiva and Sati. The fact that she was not invited did not deter Sati from attending the yagna.
She had expressed her desire to attend to Shiva who had tried his best to dissuade her from going.
Shiva eventually allowed her to go escorted by his followers.

But Sati, being an uninvited guest, was not given any respect. Furthermore, Daksha insulted Shiva. Sati
was unable to bear her father's insults toward her husband, so Dakshayani (the other name of Sati
meaning the daughter of Daksha) invoked her yogic powers and immolated herself.

Enraged at the insult and the injury, Shiva destroyed Daksha's sacrifice, cut off Daksha's head, and later
replaced it with that of a male goat as he restored him to life due to prayers of all demi gods and
Brahmaji. Still immersed in grief, he picked up the remains of Sati's body, and danced the dance of
destruction through the Universe. The other gods intervened to stop this dance, and the Vishnu 's
weapon, or Sudarshana Chakra, cut through the corpse of Sati. The various parts of the body fell at
several spots all through the Indian subcontinent and formed sites which are known as Shakti Peethas
today.
