 Daksha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Hinduism, Daksha is an ancient creator god, one of the Prajapatis, the Rishis and the Adityas, and a son of Aditi and Brahma.
Infuriated that Daksha would so callously cause the harm of his (Daksha's) own daughter in so ignoble a manner, Shiva manifested a fierce beast from his brow and sent his hordes to the feast.
For this, Daksha cursed him to wither and die.

Daksha, the first of males, by virtue of yoga, himself took the form of a beautiful woman, by whom he had many fair daughters, whom he disposed of in marriage in the manner related by Manu and above stated.
They may have had the same origin; or, according to the nature of the gods, they may have been born from each other, and have derived their substance from each other.” Roth’s view is that Aditi is eternity, and that Daksha (spiritual power) is the male energy which generates the gods in eternity.

 Shiva
Daksha, as the god of established order and the Vedic ritual sacrifice, was a direct contradiction to Shiva, the yogi who believed in meditation and austerity and was available to all irrespective of their birth or status.
It was difficult to imagine Shiva the Destroyer; the Ascetic, the Wanderer, as the ideal husband for his daughter Sati, so Daksha, ignoring Sati’s love for Shiva, invited all the gods except Shiva, for his daughter’s swayamvara (a gathering of princes, so that she could choose a husband by garlanding the one of her choice).
These demons destroyed Daksha’s sacrifice, and in battle, Shiva cut off his father-in-law’s head, later reprenting and giving Daksha a goat’s head to bring him back to life.
