The Sacred Abode of
Divine Protection & Feminine Power
THE SACRED STORY OF SHRI MANIKYAMBA DEVI
Once, Goddess Sati, the daughter of Daksha Prajapati and the beloved consort of Lord Shiva, immolated herself in the sacrificial fire insulted by her father.
Overwhelmed with grief, Lord Shiva carried her lifeless body across the universe, performing the Tandava of sorrow.
To restore balance in the world, Lord Vishnu used his Sudarshana Chakra to cut the body of Sati into pieces.
It is believed that the Left Cheek of Goddess Sati fell at Draksharamam, Andhra Pradesh. Thus, Shri Manikyamba Devi Shakti Peedam came into existence, sanctifying this land with divine feminine protection.
