The Chandi Devi Temple

The Chandi Devi Temple in Haridwar is a prominent religious site dedicated to the goddess Chandi, known as a demon slayer and a fulfiller of wishes. Located on Neel Parvat in the Shivalik Hills, the temple is considered one of Haridwar's five sacred pilgrimages and is believed to be a Siddha Peetha (a place where desires are fulfilled). The temple is also known as Neel Parvat Teerth and is one of three Siddha Peethas in Haridwar, along with Mansa Devi and Maya Devi Temples.

The Chandi Devi Temple is not a new temple; it was constructed in 1929 by King Suchat Singh of Kashmir, though the main idol of Chandi Devi is believed to have been placed there in the 8th century by Adi Shankaracharya. The temple is a significant destination for devotees seeking spiritual fulfillment and blessings from Goddess Chandi.

The temple is also located near the Chandi Ghat, a sacred ghat along the Ganga River in Haridwar, further enhancing its spiritual significance. The Chandi Devi Temple is a popular destination for both tourists and pilgrims, offering a blend of religious and cultural experiences
