Rishikesh | Haridwar | Kunjapuri Devi Temple

Kunjapuri Devi Temple

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.
