'''Chandranath Temple''' ({{lang-bn|চন্দ্রনাথ মন্দির}} ''or Chandronath mondir''), located on top of the [[Chandranath Hill]], is a famous [[Shakti Peeth]] located near [[Sitakunda]] in Bangladesh where, as per [[Hindu]] sacred texts, the right arm of Goddess [[Dakshayani|Sati]] fell.

The [[Rajmala]] states that about 800 years ago, Raja Biswambhar Sur, a descendant of the famous Adisur of [[Gaur]], tried to reach Chandranath by sea.

==Legend==
[[Sati (goddess)|Sati]] was the first wife of Shiva as the first incarnation of [[Parvati]]. She was the daughter of King [[Daksha]] and Queen (the daughter of [[Brahma]]). She committed self-immolation at the sacrificial fire of a [[yagna]] performed by her father Daksha as she felt seriously distraught by her father's insult of her husband and her by not inviting them for the yagna. Shiva was so grieved after hearing of the death of his wife that he danced around the world in a [[Tandav Nritya]] (“devastating penance” or dance of destruction) carrying Sati's dead body over his shoulders.
Perturbed by this situation and to bring Shiv to a state of normalcy, Vishnu decided to use his [[Sudarshan Chakra]] (the rotating discus carried on his finger tip). He dismembered Sati's body with the chakra into 51 pieces and wherever her body fell on the earth, the place was consecrated as a divine shrine to Shakthi Peeth with deities of Sati (Parvati) and Shiva. These locations have become famous pilgrimage places as Pithas or Shakthi Pithas are found scattered all over the subcontinent including Pakistan, [[Bangladesh]], [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Nepal]], apart from India.
Sati is also known as Devi or Shakthi, and with blessings of [[Vishnu]] she was reborn as the daughter of [[Himavat]] or [[Himalayas]] and hence named as Parvati (daughter of mountains). She was born on the 14th day of the bright half of the month of [[Mrigashīrsha]], which marks the [[Shivarathri]] (Shiva's night) festival.<ref>*{{cite book |last=Kapoor |first=Subodh |year=2002 |title=The Indian Encyclopaedia: Biographical, Historical, Religious, Administrative, Ethnological, Commercial and Scientific |publisher=Cosmo Publications |page=6325 |isbn=9788177552577}}</ref>

The Chandranath Temple is considered as a [[Shakti Peetha]], the revered shrines of [[Shaktism]]. ''The mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati's self immolation'' is the source mythology behind the origin of Shakti Peethas. Shakti Peethas are divine shrines of Shakti, due to the falling of body parts of the corpse of Sati Devi, when Lord Shiva carried it and wandered throughout Aryavartha in sorrow. There are 51 Shakti Peeth linking to the 51 alphabets in Sanskrit. Each temple have shrines for [[Shakti]] and [[Kalabhairava]]. The Right Arm of Sati Devi's corpse is believed to have fallen here. The Shakti is known by the name Bhavani.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://kottiyoordevaswom.com/ |title=Kottiyoor Devaswam Temple Administration Portal |website=Sree Kottiyoor Devaswom |access-date=2013-07-20}}</ref>

He dismembered Sati's body with the chakra into 51 pieces and wherever her body fell on the earth, the place was consecrated as a divine shrine to Shakthi Peeth with deities of Sati (Parvati) and Shiva.
