Nani Mandir

[JANASENA]

 

Hinglaj Mata (also known as Nani Mandir) is a Shakti Peeth in Hinglaj, a town on the Makran coast in the Lasbela district of Balochistan.It's located in a mountain cavern on the banks of the Hingol River.
Religious beliefs: According to Puranas, 
The daughter of Prajapati Daksha, Sati was married to Shiva against Daksha's wishes. Daksha organized a great yajna, but did not invite Sati and Shiva. Uninvited, Sati reached the yajna-site, where Daksha ignored Sati and vilified Shiva. Unable to withstand this insult, Sati jumped into the sacrificial fire and committed suicide. Sati died, but her corpse did not burn.
Thereafter, God Shiva (as Virabhadra) slew Daksha for being responsible for Sati's death and forgave him, resurrecting him. 
The wild, grief-stricken Shiva, however, wandered the universe with Sati's corpse. The world entered chaos and destruction. Finally, the God Vishnu dismembered the body of Sati into 52 parts, each of which became Shakti Peetha, temple to a form of the Goddess.
Shiva is also worshipped at each Shakti Pitha in the form of Bhairava, the male counterpart or guardian of the presiding goddess of the Pitha. As per the legend, the head of Sati is believed to have fallen at Hinglaj.
