It is said that there are 24 Shakti temples in Himachal. I visited few of them like Naina Devi, Jwala Devi, Chintpurni, Kangda devi and Chamunda Devi temples. That time I used to stay in mohali and we 8 colleagues decided to have Darshan of these temples and booked a car. On the way we saw Nangal dam. And then starting from Naina devi visited all the above mentioned temples.
Himachal have scenic beauty and its greenery is breath taking. People say that when godess sati(wife of lord siva in one of his incarnation) jumped in to the yagya kund of her father because of absence of her husband(Lord siva). Lord siva became very angry and having her body over his head he was running in all the three loks and lord vishnu became afrad that he will destry everything and to control his anger Lord vishnu Cut body of Maa sati by his chakra and where ever the body parts fell down one sahkti pith is founded. People say that most of the Shakti Piths are in Himachal only.
Naina Devi is The place where her eye fell down, Jwala devi where her toung was thrown, Chintpurni(Also called chhinmastika) where her head fell down. These place are worth visiting.
