== Legend ==
Mathiyana Maa, a maternal deity, is one of the most powerful goddesses of Uttarakhand. Many stories relate to her origin:

When Lord [[Shiva]]<ref>{{Cite book|last=Sharma|first=Arvind|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gDmUToaeMJ0C|title=Classical Hindu Thought: An Introduction|last2=Bharati|first2=Ray|date=2000|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-564441-8|language=en}}</ref> was wandering with the dead body of Mata Sati in the sky, Lord [[Vishnu]] cut Sati's lifeless body using Sudharshan Chakra into 51 pieces. One of the body parts fell in the Bhardar Pati of Rudraprayag, Uttrakhand.

Another story is that hundreds of years ago, Mathiyana Maa was a girl married to a [[Tibet]]an prince. The prince was killed by her stepmother and relatives. When her husband was burned in Rudraprayag, she performed ''Sati'',<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gilmartin|first=Sophie|date=1997|title=The Sati, the Bride, and the Widow: Sacrificial Woman in the Nineteenth Century|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/victorian-literature-and-culture/article/abs/sati-the-bride-and-the-widow-sacrificial-woman-in-the-nineteenth-century/0A244E3F58224BA9179C54D43E439507|journal=Victorian Literature and Culture|language=en|volume=25|issue=1|pages=141–158|doi=10.1017/S1060150300004678|issn=1470-1553}}</ref> throwing herself on her husband's [[funeral pyre]], and then became a goddess who took revenge against murderers.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-05-19|title=Mathiyana Devi Temple in Uttarakhand - Mathiyana Devi Temple Pooja Timing, Location|url=https://tours.sacredyatra.com/temples/mathiyana-devi-templke-rudraprayag-uttarakhand/|access-date=2021-05-13|website=Religious & Pilgrimage Tour Packages}}</ref>
