Sati, the daughter of Daksha, a descendant of Brahma, marries Shiva against the wish of her father. This annoys the king (Daksha) and he performs a yagna to insult Shiva, where he invites all gods except his son-in-law (Shiva). Sati attends this sacrifice against the wishes of Shiva and is insulted by her father. Unable to bear this, Sati kills herself by burning in the fire.

Shiva destroys Daksha's sacrifice through Virabhadra, cuts off Daksha's head and replaces it with that of a goat, and restores his life. Later he picks up the remain of Sati's body and performs "Rudra Thandavam", a dance that will lead to the destruction of Universe, but the other gods intervene, and the Disc of Vishnu cuts through the Sati's corpse. Her body parts, known as Shakthi Peetas, fall in several places on the Indian subcontinent.
