She reached the yagna without calling. There was a lot of insult to Lord Shiva at the place of sacrifice, which Mata Sati could not tolerate, and she fell into the Havan Kund there.
Lord Shankar came to know about this, after which he reached there and took out the body of Mata Sati from Havan Kund and started doing Tandava, which caused upheaval in the entire universe. To save the entire universe from this crisis, Lord Vishnu divided the body of Mata Sati into 51 parts from his Sudarshan Chakra, the limb where it fell became the Shakti Peetha.
