To offer their devotion to the Goddess, pilgrims visit and perform rituals at her renowned temples during this auspicious occasion. According to Hindu tradition, the Shaktipeeths are considered the most sacred sites associated with Goddess Shakti

.

According to legend, King Daksha performed a Yajna (sacrificial ritual) to which he did not invite his daughter, Sati, or Lord Shiva. When Sati arrived at the venue, she was subjected to humiliation; in response, she immolated herself by leaping into the sacrificial fire. Upon learning of this, Lord Shiva was consumed by rage; he lifted Sati's lifeless body and began performing the *Tandava*-the cosmic dance of destruction. To bring an end to this cosmic turmoil, Lord Vishnu used his Sudarshan Chakra to sever Sati's body into pieces. The various locations where these severed body parts fell subsequently became established as Shaktipeeths.
