The religious importance of the temple

According to Hindu legend, Mata Sati desired to have Lord Shiva as her companion in wedlock but was objected to by her father. Eventually, the two got married and lived at Kailash Parwata. Much later, King Daksh, the father of Sati performed Vishal Yagya. The occasion subjected Shiva to humiliation as he was not invited to be a part of the Yagya. Devi Sati, unable to tolerate the insult that Shiva suffered at the hands of her father, jumped into the fire and obstructed the performance of the ritual. Afterward, an enraged Shiva picked up the burnt body of Sati and headed for their abode. At this instant, the Earth shook violently and many Gods and Goddesses came together to stop Shiva from doing so. Unable to convince Shiva, Vishnu finally sent his chakra and destroyed the burnt body of Sati. The upper half of her body and the weapons fell and scattered around. The area where part of her burnt body fell is the Shakti Peeth. Even to the present day, Trishuls made of different metals along with century-old statues can be seen lying about the temple premises.
