The legend has
that there was a time the Mount Himalaya and its surroundings were under the
abstract control of the demons. They
harassed the life of deities and sages, they all appealed to Lord Vishnu. As instructed by Lord Vishnu, all the
spiritual energies of the deities turned into a flame and as desired by the
deities and Sages Goddess Sri Sati was rose from the flame and she was brought
up by Daksha Prajapathi. Later, she married was
to Lord Shiva against the will of her father.
A Grand Yagna was conducted
by Dakshaprajapathi ended in disaster, his own daughter Goddess Sri Sati had to
sacrifice her life in the sacrificial fire. This catastrophic incident brought
trepidation amongst the deities. Inconsolable Lord Shiva carried the lifeless
body of Goddess Sri Sati and wandered on the Earth for several years. The
functions of Trinities to protect the Universe were shattered. All the deities
were frightened about the terrible consequences and appealed to Lord Vishnu.
Lord Vishnu’ dice chopped off the lifeless body of Goddess Sri Sati into
several parts to diffuse the grief of Lord Shiva and each part fell into the
different parts of the Earth. The places where the body parts of Goddess Sri
Sati fallen on the Earth were turned into ‘Shakthi Sthal/Shakthi Peedam’. Sri Jugalamba Devi Mandir is the place where
Goddess Sri Sati’s upper jaw fallen on the Earth.
