Chandi Devi Temple
About Chandi Devi Temple
Chandi Devi Temple stands as one of the most revered Shakti Peethas in Haridwar, located at the summit of Neel Parvat within the Shivalik hills. The goddess is venerated as the combined form of Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Durga, representing the fierce aspect of Parvati. The temple's rich architecture offers commanding views of Haridwar from its elevated position. Adi Shankaracharya is credited with establishing the temple during the 8th century, with the deity idol installed by a great priest of that era. The temple gained prominence as a major pilgrimage destination following its elevation by King Suchat Singh of Kashmir in 1929, and it remains one of five principal pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand, known as Neel Parvat Tirth.
