51 Shakti Peeth List: In Shaktism, the goddess-centered branch of Hinduism, the Shakti Peethas are important shrines and sites of pilgrimage. The shrines are dedicated to different manifestations of Adi Shakti. The origin of the Shakti Pithas is told in several stories. The most well-known is centred on the tale of the goddess Sati's demise.

Lord Shiva carried Sati's body, remembering their memories together, while he wandered the cosmos in anguish and sadness. Using his Sudarshana Chakra, Lord Vishnu divided her body into 51 sections, which dropped to Earth and became holy places where everyone may honour the goddess. For Hindus, all 51 of these places are sacred sites for pilgrimages. While there are 7 in Bangladesh, 4 in Nepal, 3 in Pakistan, and one each in Tibet, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan, the majority of these Shakti Peethas are located in India. 

See the list of Devi Adishakti's 51 Shakti Peethas, their locations, and the body part of Devi Sati that fell at each Shakti Peeth.
