Manikarni
When Sati's body was cut to pieces by the sudarshana chakra of Lord Vishnu, it is said that karna kundala (earring) of Sati fell here. Hence Devi here is also known as Manikarni. Some pundits feel that karna kundala is merely an ornament and not part of the body. Therefore this place can at best be considered as a upapeetha, a minor or sub-centre. Another version says that this is a shakti peetha only because one of the three eyes akshi fell here. As the divine eye can perceive the entire universe, Mother here is called Vishalakshi, the vast-eyed.Lord Shiva is known as Kalabhairavar.
