Sati was an incarnation of Goddess Adishakti born as a blessing to Parajapti Daksha and Queen Prasuti and Goddess Shakti took birth as a human to reunite with her consort Lord Shiva.

According to history, Satis’s body was into 52 parts which fell into this earth. So places, where the Goddess’s remains fell, are called Shakti peethas and the Maya Devi temple is one of them.
