Pancha Gaya

It is said that when demon Gayasura was liberated by Lord Vishnu Chakra the body was cut into three parts out of which 
  1. the upper portion had fallen at Gaya (Bihar) called Siro Gaya or Seersha Gaya, 
  2. the middle portion had fallen at Jajpur (Orissa) called Nabhi Gaya and 
  3. the bottom portion had fallen at Pithapuram (Andhra Pradesh) called Paada Gaya. 
As per another script the three places are 
  1. Siro Gaya (Kapali Gaya) at Badrinath, 
  2. Nabhi Gaya at Naimisharanya https://freeglobaluniversity.blogspot.com/search/label/isha
