The track is jeep capable and do convey lunch with you.
Surkanda Devi Temple : - One of the most constant folklores concerning the source of love at the site is related with the legend of Sati, who was the spouse of the austere god Shiva and girl of the Puranic god-lord Daksha. Daksha was discontent with his little girl's decision of spouse, and when he played out a fantastic Vedic penance for every one of the divinities, he didn't welcome Shiva or Sati. In a fury, Sati tossed herself onto the flame, realizing this would make the penance unclean. Since she was the almighty mother goddess, Sati left her body at that time to be renewed as the goddess Parvati. In the interim, Shiva was hit with pain and anger at the loss of his better half. He put Sati's body behind him and started his tandava (move of astronomical devastation) all through the sky, and promised not to stop until the body was totally spoiled away. Different Gods, scared of their demolition, entreated Vishnu to appease Shiva. Along these lines, any place Shiva meandered while moving, Vishnu pursued. He sent his disk Sudarshana to obliterate the cadaver of Sati. Bits of her body fell until Shiva was left without a body to convey. Seeing this, Shiva plunked down to do Mahatapasya (extraordinary retribution). In spite of the closeness in name, researchers don't by and large accept that this legend offered ascend to the act of sati, or widow consuming. As indicated by different fantasies and customs, there are 51 bits of Sati's body dissipated over the Indian subcontinent. These spots are called shakti peethas and are committed to different ground-breaking goddesses. At the point when Shiva was ignoring this spot on his way back to Kailash conveying Sati's body, her head fell at the spot where the advanced sanctuary of Surkhanda Devi stands and because of which the sanctuary has its name as sirkhanda which in the progression of time is currently called Surkanda.
