    A legend says that after Goddess Sati sacrificed herself in the honor of Lord Shiva in her Fathers Yagya. Shiva took her body on his shoulder and started Tandav. In order to stop him from destroying the world Lord Vishnu divided the body of Sati into 51 parts with his Chakra. The left breast of Sati fell at this spot, thus making it a Shakti Peeth.The original temple was built by the Pandavas at the time of Mahabharatha. Legend says that one day Pandavas saw Goddess Durga in their dream in which she told them that she is situated in the Nagarkot village and if they want them self to be secure they should make a temple for her in that area otherwise they will be destroyed. That same night they made a magnificent temple for her in the Nagarkot village. This temple was looted a number of time by the Muslim invaders.

The tour takes the whole day but is definitely worth it. We booked option 2 with a guide which is recommended, especially for the temple. Both driver and guide were professional and friendly.

We had one day tour to some ancient monuments in the vicinity of Dharamsala. An old temple ruins carved out of the solid rock, the oldest fort in India at the meeting point of two rivers and a Durga temple. It was a very interesting round tour with an excellent guide, Vikas Kumar that knows India, its strength and weakness, history and culture, from today and back to the very old times. We want also to mention our driver. The way to the monuments is a mountain way with a lot of turns and bumps. The driver managed it elegantly and smoothly, and we felt our self safe in his car.
