Located at an altitude of 1645 mts and hidden in the mountains near Rishikesh, it offers a panoramic view of the Himalayan peaks to the North and of Rishikesh, Haridwar and the Doon valley to the South. Travelling towards Gangotri, about 6 kms, from Narendra Nagar the road bifurcates at Hindola Khal, leading to the shrine, which is 5 kms further. Being a prime religious center, thousands of visitors come throughout the year especially during Navratras (April & October). Grand Celebrations are held during the Dussehra festival. This is one of the temples where Sati's body parts fell. Read more about the temple here... See photos of other Devi temples in Himachal here...
