Sati was the first wife of Shiva as the first incarnation of Parvati. She was the daughter of King Daksha and Queen. She committed self-immolation at the sacrificial fire of a yagna performed by her father Daksha as she felt seriously distraught by her father's insult of her husband and her by not inviting them for the yagna.
