DAKSHA YAJNA
According to Puranas, Lord Shiva was married to Satisfy who was also known as Daakshayani since she was favourite to Daksha. Lord Shiva after marriage, did not do proper conventional reverence which is to be done by a son-in-law to his father-in-law, instead Lord Shiva blessed his for Daksha’s prosperity, which yet enraged Daksha’s ego, so he decided to perform a Mahayajna to which he invited all except Lord Shiva. in vasthu roopa since Sati was Daksha’s favourite child, she couldnt refrain from attending her fathers greatest of Yajnas. To this, much against Shiva,s wishes, Daakshayini went to the yajna uninvited.
By then Daksha’s favoritism for Sati was perished since she was vaamaangi(left part of the body) of his enemy and he used the situation to insult Mahadeva. Unable to bear the insults – She cursed her father for his ego and showed her nija rupa(as Adishakti); she cursed everybody from Vishnu to Brahma to each individual present over there; Even after many condolences from Vishnu and Brahma, Daakshayini got herself burnt with her own powerful radiance. Hearing this news, Mahaarudra Mahakaala Lord Shiva got very angry and started to perform the Rudra Tandava which created turmoil in the world. In this rage he created Veerabhadra and BhadrakaaLi out of his JaTa (tied hair-matts), who went to Dakshayajna disrupted it and beheaded Daksha, after defeating Vishnu, Bhaga, Poosha, Adityas…etc. When Daksha’s wife pleaded mercy, he gave his life and bestowed Daksha with a goat’s head. This story is narrated by the dancers performing Veeragase.
