Jai Durga Shakti Peeth Baidyanath (Divine place)

Baidyanath – Jai Durga Shakti Peeth Foundation Story

Goddess Sati was married to lord Shiva. She was the daughter of king Daksha. And, king Dasha did not like lord Shiva. Daksha was proud about his position and rank. Once he organised a Yagya. all God and Goddesses were invited in this Hawan, apart form Goddess Sati and her husband lord Shiva.
Devi Sati could not bear this disrespect of her husband. So, she jumped in the Hawan Kund (fire furrow) and died. hearing about this incident, lord Shiva became very angry. Shiva started roaming in the whole universe with the dead body of his wife. On the request of other deities,lord Vishnu had made 51 parts of Sati’s dead body. The places of Asia where these body parts fell were given the name as Shakti Peeth. After wandering in the whole universe, lord Shiva took the Samadhi at mount Kailash.
Out of the famous 51 Shakti Peeth, Baisyanath – Jai Durga Shakti Peeth is one of them. This is located at Devghar, Jharkhand.
