peetha). From the 52 body parts of mother Sati the Breasts were fallen here.

Hindu mythology after the death of Devi Sati in Dakhyayagya out if deep grief
and sorrow Lord Shiva carried her body and started roaming around the universe.
To bring back lord Shiva from that state Lord Vishnu cut the body of Mata Sati
into 52 body parts by his Sudarshan chakra. These 52 parts fell on earth and
became sacred places or Shakti peeth where people worship. shakti peeths are the places that are believed to be blessed with the Shakti due to the
falling of body parts of the corpse of Mata Sati.
