* Bhadrakali Mandir - a temple of goddess which is one of the 52 shakti peeths. As per the story in Hindu Mythology, Goddess sati killed herself by entering the Yagna of Raja Daksha as a protest against the insult of Lord Shiva. Remorseful Lord Shiva was wandering in the whole universe with the corpse of his beloved Sati on his shoulder. To bring him back to the original mood, it was necessary to destroy the corpse of Sati. Lord Vishnu hence cut the corpse in 52 pieces with his Sudarshan Chakra. The different parts fell at different places where the temples of the goddess was built by the devotees later on. Collectively, these are known as 52 shakti peethas. One of them is in Kurukhsetra where the leg of the goddess fell.
