According to the mythology, once lord Shiva was criticized by king Daksh in his yagna in front of mata sati. King Daksh invited all the gods including Lord Brahma and Vishnu but he didn't invite his daughter sati and her husband lord Shiva to the yagna. But still being a daughter sati went to attend his father's yagna.
When Daksha saw that Sati has come uninvited he insulted her and her husband Lord Shiva. Sati was unable to bear this pain; she jumped into the yagna fire and burned herself. Lord Shiv got anger by this incidence and his third eye was opened. Angry Lord Shiva took her body on his shoulder and travels the whole universe. Mata sati's body started decomposing and parts of her body fell on earth in 51 different places. Some puran shows that number of fallen parts may be 108, 72 or 52 as well.
As we know, in Tripurmalini Shaktipeeth, the breast of Mata Sati fell so it is also known by the name of Stanpeeth. Additional, It is said that resemblance of Mata Vaishno Devi, Maa Lakshmi and Maa Saraswati as well, all these devi's fulfill all desires of devotees. Just like the other Shaktipeeths, a Diya always keeps burning here as well. A large number of devotees mainly visit Tripurmalini Shaktipeeth on Sundays and Tuesdays. Here Goddess is in the form of Shakti.
Some people believe it that whoever dies accidentally at Tripurmalini Shaktipeeth, goes to heaven after death. Even the birds or animals dying at this place gets free from taking birth again and again in this world. According to another belief, all the Gods are present here partly to meet Matarani.
