According to legends and also written in Veds and Purans , Goddess Sati burnt herself alive in Yagna, which distressed Lord Shiva. He picked the body of Sati on his shoulder and started his [[Tandava]] dance. This horrified all deities in the heaven as this could lead to holocaust. This urged Lord Vishnu to unleash his Chakra that cut the Sati’s body into 51 pieces. Shri Naina Devi Temple is the place where [[eye]]s of Goddess Sati fell down. | According to legends and also written in Veds and Purans , Goddess [[Sati (Hindu goddess)|Sati]] burnt herself alive in Yagna, which distressed Lord Shiva.

Another story related to the temple is of a [[Gujjar]] Boy. Once he was grazing his cattle and observed that a white cow is showering milk from her udders on a stone. He saw the same thing for next several days. One night while sleeping, he saw Goddess in her dreams who told him that the stone is her [[Pindi (Hindu iconography)|pindi]]. Naina told about the entire situation and his dream to Raja Bir Chand. When Raja saw it happening in reality, he built a temple on that spot and named the temple after Naina's name. | Another story related to the temple is of a [[Gujjar]] Boy.
