 Thus Vishnu cut her into 51 pieces (108 pieces are also mentioned in many Puranic texts) as Shiva traveled around the world and these fifty one body parts of Sati fell at different locations in the subcontinent, and all these places came to be known as Shakthi Peethas (abode of goddess Shakthi or Durga).Her right arm fell on the Saptashrungi hills and the place became holy, and a Shakthi Peeth came to be established here.It is also said that when the demon king Mahishasura was creating havoc in the forests, the devatas and people urged Durga to kill the demon.
