Maa Bhadrakali temple is one of the 52 Shakti Peeths found in India. Origin of Shakti Peeths is an ancient story. Legends say that Goddess Sati married Lord Shiva against the will of her father, King Daksha. One day Daksha performed a Yagya where he invited all deities, but not his own daughter. Sati visited the ceremony unexpectedly, but with the permission of Lord Shiva. Being already infuriated by her, Daksha insulted her and her husband which she couldn't tolerate, and threw herself into the sacred yagya fire. Grief stricken Lord Shiva started pacing the universe with the dead body of Sati in his hands. This act of Shiva made the other Hindu Gods extremely worried and hence, Lord Vishnu released the Sudarshan Chakra that cut Sati's body into 52 parts, those parts fell on earth at different locations. Sati's right ankle was found in Kurukshetra. Presence of the Goddess's body part makes this place very blessed. It is believed that visiting the temple on Saturday and worshipping the Goddess fulfils the wishes of devotees. After the fulfilment of one's wish, they are supposed to offer miniature horses to the temple.Paying a visit to Sati and spending some time here will definitely give you some ridden with energy and positive vibes.
