More About Hinglaj Mata Shaktipeeth 

The Hinglaj Mata Shaktipeeth is believed to be the sacred site where the Head of Goddess Sati fell. According to mythology, when Lord Shiva performed the Tandav dance after the self-immolation of Sati, her body parts scattered across various locations, and this site became one of the 51 Shaktipeeths. Here, Goddess Anandamayee, symbolizing bliss and spiritual well-being, is worshipped, offering peace, happiness, and divine protection to her devotees.

Enraged at the insult and death of his spouse, Shiva in his Virabhadra avatar destroyed Daksha's yajna and cut off his head. His anger not abated and immersed in grief, Shiva then picked up the remains of Sati's body and performed the Tandava, the celestial dance of destruction, across all creation. Frightened, the other Gods requested Vishnu to intervene to stop this destruction. As a recourse, Vishnu used the Sudarshana Chakra on Sati's corpse dismembering the body of Sati into 108 parts, from which 52 fell on earth and others on other planets in the universe which became Shakti Peethas, temple to a form of the Goddess.
