This temple of Kurukshetra is one out of the fifty one Shaktipithas spread over the length and breadth of the country. It is believed that right ankle of Sati fell here in the well which is known as Devikupa. To recall the event, a marble made right ankle has been placed over the well in front of the present temple. Goddess of the Pitha is called Savitri and her associated Bhairava is Sthanu. It is said that Mundana (tonsure) sacrament of Balarama and Krishna was also accomplished here. Before commencement of Mahabharata battle Pandavas along with Lord Krishna worshipped mother Goddess here and got a boon of victory from divine mother. After the Mahabharata battle the victorious Pandavas again visited the shrine and donated their best horses in the service of mother Goddess. Horses made of terracotta and metal are donated here after fulfillment of one’s wishes.
