Shaktipeeth Dham: A Religious Travel of Pilgrimage

Himachal is called the land of gods and Shaktipeeth Dham because here in every house, city,
village, and big town there is a temple of many gods and goddesses whom all the
people of the village worship in their Hearts. The love of these temples is in pure India.

It is believed that the supreme power of Shakti is the Goddess Durga (which is
also known by some other names like Parvati and Sati), which has 10 different
kinds are known as Mahavidya as

Mahakali
Tara
Tripuri sundra
Bagalamukhi

What is the History of Shaktipeeth Dham?

According to our Puranas, in the form of these 10 Mahavidyas, many forms emerged from
time to time on this earth, who killed the demons and borrowed the people.
Where the form of this power was incarnated and demons were killed, there were
Shakti Peeths.

It is believed that in the time of Satyuga when King Daksha insulted Lord Shiva,
the husband of his daughter Sati, Sati could not bear this insult and gave her
life in Havana kund. After that Lord Shiva began with Tandav in Mata Sati’s
ordeal, which caused a great crisis on the whole earth, then all deities &
gods went to Vishnu and prayed to help, then Vishnu ji sliced the body of
Mata Sati from his chakra and Shaktipeeth became where mother’s body limbs fell
on earth. In some Puranas, it is believed that there are 51 Shaktipeeth and some
believe there are 108 Shaktipeeth of Goddess Sati.
