It is a shrine of 'Shakti' worship. It is one of the most acclaimed Shakti shrines in the country. Every year, thousands of devotees and pilgrims from all parts of the country, throng here to offer their prayers to Goddess Sati. Different myths and legends abound about the construction of this temple at this particular place. According to the legend of Kalika Purana, after the Rudra Tandav of Shiva, in which Shiva danced with the corpse of Sati, Sati's body parts fell in different places in India.
