(Legend)
Daksha the hardcore devotee of Lord Shiva was gifted by a daughter
whom he wish for the one who exactly the Mother Goddess Herself.
Lord Shiva grants his wish and Mother Parvathy born as Sati. Despite
accepting Lord Shiva as his Son in Law, Daksha shows arrogant and
ended up made Sati into suicide attempt for not willing to invite her
beloved to the Yagna he is making. Due to sins, Lord Shiva created Veera
Badra and chopped Daksha’s head and he is ended up living with Goat’s
head after the incident.
Sati’s body was rejected to be burned by Lord of Fire and Lord Shiva was
aggressively dancing in sorrow. Looking a t this, Lord Vishnu in order to
save the Universe from the explosion, used his Sudarshana Chakra, cut
off the body of Sati into pieces and it fell off into several part on earth.
Lord Shiva took the form of Bairava and went to search for the pieces
and became the Guard of each Sakthi Peet.
