As per the Siva Puranam (Thiru Vilaiyadal - Thakshan),<ref>https://temple.dinamalar.com/news_detail.php?id=10945</ref> Lord Siva married Thakshan daughter Sakthi(Thakshayini). Thakshan planned to do a Yagna without inviting Lord Shiva (Son in Law). Lord Siva found it as an insult and refused Sakthi not to attend that Yagna. Sakthi Quarreled with Siva and came to Thakshanoor Kingdom. She met her father and asked him to invite his husband Siva. Thakshan refused her obligation. So Sakthi cursed him and demolished the Yagna and fell in to the yaga gunda and immolished her body.From Yaga Gunda, Lord Siva took her body to Kailash. Lord Siva got wild and started dancing "Ukira Thandavam".Seeing this Lord Vishnu thrown his Chakra and cut Sakthi body into few more pieces. The places, where Sakthi body fallen all became "Sakthi Peedam". Remaining of the body Lord Siva buried it in Kasi (Varanasi).

By Myths[edit]

As per the Siva Puranam (Thiru Vilaiyadal - Thakshan),[2] Lord Siva married Thakshan daughter Sakthi(Thakshayini). Thakshan planned to do a Yagna without inviting Lord Shiva (Son in Law). Lord Siva found it as an insult and refused Sakthi not to attend that Yagna. Sakthi Quarreled with Siva and came to Thakshanoor Kingdom. She met her father and asked him to invite his husband Siva. Thakshan refused her obligation. So Sakthi cursed him and demolished the Yagna and fell in to the yaga gunda and immolished her body.From Yaga Gunda, Lord Siva took her body to Kailash. Lord Siva got wild and started dancing "Ukira Thandavam".Seeing this Lord Vishnu thrown his Chakra and cut Sakthi body into few more pieces. The places, where Sakthi body fallen all became "Sakthi Peedam". Remaining of the body Lord Siva buried it in Kasi (Varanasi). After that Lord Siva convinced her by offering half part of his body (i.e. Artha Nareswar) to teach the man and woman equality to this world.
