Surkanda Temple

There are 51 pieces of Sati's body scattered across the Indian subcontinent. These places are calledshakti peeths and are dedicated to various powerful goddesses. When Shiva was passing over this place on his way back to Kailash carrying Sati's body, her head fell at the spot where the modern temple of Surkhanda Devi stands and due to which the temple's got its name as sirkhanda which in the passage of time is now called surkanda.
