<br />
==In Indian mythology==<br />
The legend says that the torso of [[Sati (goddess)|Sati]] fell here and her weapons got scattered all around the place. Thus, even today huge number of iron [[trishul (weapon)|trishul]]s (tridents) and some old statues can be seen lying around the revered temple of Chandrabadani.<br />
<br />
==Sight-seeing== <br />
The place commands a beautiful view of the Surkanda, Kedarnath and Badrinath peaks. The temple is very small and contains a Shri-yantra carved out on a flat stone instead of any idol. Traditionally, a cloth canopy is tied to the ceiling over this Shri-yantra once a year and the Brahmana priest doing it has to do it blind-folded.<br />
