Lord Shiva's companion is the goddess Parvati. Goddess Parvati was known as Sati in her previous life. Even though she had married the Lord, her father, King Daksha, was not quite happy. He had planned a Yagna, a significant gathering during which offerings are given to Agni Dev (Fire God). He had purposefully refused to welcome his daughter and her spouse. When Sati learned of this, she was furious and  made a decison to go wihtout invitation. Although Master Shiva tried to persuade her to change her mind, she remained adamant. Sati was told by Ruler Daksha that his reasons were simple public humiliation of her partner. Sati was furious and jumped into the conciliation fire to face death.

Shiva, the ruler, had been split apart. At the Yagna, he caused havoc and damage. At that time, Tandav carried the remaining pieces of Sati's body on his shoulder and began the act of Tandav's annihilation, which would ultimately destroy the universe. According to some interpretations, the Lord carried her body on his shoulders and walked wildly in anguish as he was in despair. The final customs were refused by him. The creator of the universe, Master Brahma, believed that Sati could not be resurrected as Goddess Parvati if her body was not properly incinerated as prescribed by Hindu scriptures. Lord Vishnu was concerned that Lord Shiva's suffering might cause the universe to eventually collapse.

The body was ripped into pieces by Lord Vishnu using his Sudarshan Chakra (Disk) since they were unable to contain or face Lord Shiva's fury. As Lord Shiva proceeded, a part of her body collapsed, and the holy entities completed her last rites. Shaktipeeth are the locations where the bodily fragments of heavenly Mother fell. Sanctuaries have been constructed around it and are still revered. People go across mainlands in search of Shakti's graces.
