Haridwar, also known as land of Hari, is home to numerous devotees and beautifully carved temples. It is among those holy places in India that purify your mind and soul. One of the famous mythological sites is the Chandi Devi temple in Haridwar.
Situated on the top of Neel Parvat, the Mandir was built in the year 1929 by the then ruler of Kashmir, late Mr. Suchat Singh. The shrine houses a huge figurine of Goddess Chandi because of which it is named so. It is believed that whoever visits this temple once, his/her wishes are always granted because of which it is considered as Siddhapitha.
Positioned alongside the river Ganges the temple has gained maximum attention among tourists, in Haridwar. Adding to its beauty is the walk up to the temple. Passing through the huge pine trees and serene beauty, it will take you only 45 minutes to reach the temple. For those who wish to cut the travelling time short they can use the ropeway which is a 5- 10 minutes ride to the shrine.
