Architecture
The Shakti Peethas (holy places of cosmic power) are places of worship dedicated to the Goddess ‘Shakti’, the female principal of Hinduism and the main deity of the Shakti. Goddess Durga killed a demon called Mahishasura, who represent the animal features in human like ego, ignorance, greed and selfishness. In this form Mahishasura Mardini, the Mother Goddess shows us the path to defeat the animal nature in human beings with the divine help. The lion, the carrier of Goddess Durga, represents man’s virility. The animal nature is to be conquered and kept under rigid control, but never absolutely abolished, for everything has its part to play while retained in the right portions. It is to be tamed to serve the purpose of divine creation.
Religious Significance
According to legends, at some time in Satya Yuga, Daksha (who was the son of Lord Brahma) performed a yagna in a place called Kankan (near Haridwar). This Yagya was named Vrihaspati Yagna. He performed this Yagna with a desire of taking revenge on Lord Shiva. Daksha was angry because his daughter Sati (one of his 27 daughters) had married the ‘yogi’ God Shiva against his wishes. Daksha invited all the deities to the yagna except for Shiva and Sati. The fact that she was not invited did not deter Sati from attending the yagna. She had expressed her desire to attend the Yagna to Shiva, who had tried his best to dissuade her from going. Shiva eventually allowed her to go escorted by his ganas. But Sati, being an uninvited guest, was not given any respect by his father. Further more, Daksha insulted Lord Shiva. Sati was unable to bear her father’s insult of her husband, so she committed suicide by jumping into the sacrificial fire. When Lord Shiva heard about her death he became furious. He along with his ganas (followers) went to the place where Daksha was performing Yagna. The site of Yagna was completely destroyed by Shiva and his ganas (mainly by the great Veerbhadra) and killed Daksha. Lord Shiva then carried the corpse of Sati and started dancing furiously all over the place like a lunatic. The other gods intervened to stop this Tandava dance. To reduce his anger, Lord Vishnu cut the corpse of Sati with his Sudarshan chakra. Various parts of the body fell at several spots all through the Indian subcontinent and formed the sites of which are known as Shaktipeeth.
