Explanation:
The mythical story
According to mythical legends, Sati married Lord Shiva against the wishes of her father, King Daksha. Once, the king had organised a great yajna in his kingdom and he did not invite Sati and Shiva. Sati was very upset but still went to her father’s kingdom to attend the yajna, much against the wish of Lord Shiva. There, she was insulted by her father. King Daksha also insulted Lord Shiva, which made her so angry that she jumped into the yajna fire and killed herself. Hearing this, Lord Shiva got very angry and took Sati’s body on his shoulders and wandered all around the universe with rage. He started the Tandav dance or dance of destruction of the universe out of anger. Lord Vishnu, in order to calm Shiva down and save the universe, cut the body of Sati into several pieces with his Sudarshan chakra. Her body parts fell in 108 different places which came to be known as the Shakti peeths. In Kamakhya temple, the womb and the yoni or the vagina of the Goddess fell.
