Then, to come out from this grief, God Vishnu threw his Chakra at her (Sati’s) corpse and at once the various parts of her body fell down on the various places which become pilgrimage due to touch of the Sati’s body’s different parts. The last past of Sati’s body fell at this place of Alopi where the disappearance of Sati was concluded and this place became a holy place of Goddess Sati the name was given as “Alopi Temple”.
