1. Katas Raj Temple in the Punjab Province: Katas Raj Temple is situated in the Chakwal district of Punjab in Pakistan. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple has existed before the days of Mahabharata and the Pandava brothers spent a substantial part of their exile here.
   It is said that the five Pandava brothers, heroes of the Historical epic Mahabharata, stayed here four out of the 14 years that they spent in exile. Its origin involves the death of Shiva’s wife Satti. When she died, Shiva cried so much and for so long, that his tears created two holy ponds – one at Pushkar in Ajmer, India, and the other at the Katas Raj Temple.

Hinglaj Mandir or Nani Mandir, Hingol National Park, Baluchistan: An important Shakti Peeth of Goddess Sati, Hinglaj Mandir or Nani Mandir is situated in Hingol National Park in Baluchistan province of Pakistan.

These pieces got scattered all over the Indian subcontinent whilst Sati’s head fell at Hingula or Hinglaj.
