MOTHER KANAKADURGESWARI OF VIJAYAWADA

Not satisfied, Lord Siva himself descended straight to the spot and started Tandavanritya with Sati's corpse on his shoulder, when the whole universe shuddered with horror and was heading towards total extinction. Then came Lord Mahavishnu and dexterously cut the Sati's dead body into several parts with his potent Sudarsan Chakra. The parts that came off fell at different places of the Punya Bharat. And when Lord Siva regained his mental poise, he made every spot a Saktipitha. Devotees thenceforth started offering prayers to Mother Sakthi by building fitting shrines over them. Among the 108 such sacred spots, Indrakila is ore and it became a powerful one in this region.
