Maya Devi Temple, Haridwar, Hindu temple in Haridwar, India

The Maya Devi Temple contains a central shrine with a three-headed, four-armed statue of the deity, situated near the Ganges River.

The temple marks the location where the heart and navel of Goddess Sati fell, establishing this site as one of the Shakti Peethas in the 11th century.

Devotees from across India gather at the temple during Navratri festivals to perform rituals and offer prayers to the presiding goddess of Haridwar.

The temple remains open from sunrise to sunset, with special ceremonies conducted during morning and evening hours for spiritual contemplation.

The ancient city of Haridwar received its former name Mayapuri from this temple, which stands as one of three sacred shrines in the area.
