Kunjapuri Temple Moun
4 hours
Kunjapuri Devi Temple is a scared temple of immense importance in Hindu religion. Located at an height of 1676 meters on the hills of the Tehri Garhwal District, Kunjapuri is one of the 52 shaktipeeth temples in Uttarakhand. It is believed that the chest of burned Sati (Lord Shiva’s first wife) had fallen there, hence the name Kunjapuri was given to this temple as kunja means chest in sanskrit. The temple not only has its religious and spiritual significance, but offers panoramic views of the snowcapped mountains and peaks surrounded by it.
