It is mentioned in the Puranas<\/strong> that when Sati\u2019s father<\/strong> organized the Haridwar Yajna<\/strong>, Sati\u2019s husband Shiva<\/strong> was not invited to it.<\/p>\n

Being angry<\/strong> that her husband<\/strong> was not invited to this event<\/strong> and she felt insulted<\/strong>, Sati<\/strong> offered herself to sacrify<\/strong>\u00a0in the Yajna<\/strong> organized by her father on behalf of her husband.”<\/p>\n
