| Three Sidh Peeths, are located on the top of three different mountains, dedicated to 'Sati' the wife of 'Lord Shiva'. All the three temples are linked with a famous tale when Sati, daughter of Daksha Prajapati, immolated herself at the sacrificial spot Lord Shiva took the dead body of his wife and started walking towards the Himalayas . The places where the parts of her dead body fell are known as Kunjapuri, Surkanda Devi and Chandrabadani and are thus worshipped as Siddha Peeths. |
