Ashtadasa Shakti Peethas Places !link!

According to legend, Lord Shiva was so distraught by the death of his wife, Sati, that he carried her charred body across the world, dancing the Tandava (the dance of destruction). To save the universe from Shiva’s wrath, Lord Vishnu used his Sudarshana Chakra to cut Sati’s body into pieces. Wherever a part of her body or her ornaments fell, a Shakti Peetha was established.
