18 Shakti Peethas
The Astadasha Shakti Peethas (also spelled Ashta Dasha Shakti Peethas) refer to the 18 sacred shrines dedicated to Goddess Shakti (Devi), revered in the Shakta tradition of Hinduism. These temples are believed to be the most significant among the many Shakti Peethas scattered across the Indian subcontinent. According to legend, after the self-immolation of Goddess Sati, Lord Shiva carried her charred body across the universe in grief. Lord Vishnu, to ease Shiva's sorrow and restore cosmic balance, used his Sudarshana Chakra to cut Sati’s body into pieces. These pieces fell at various places on earth, and each spot where a body part fell became a Shakti Peetha.
