Chandi Devi Temple, Haridwar, Hindu temple on Neel Parvat hill, Haridwar, India
The white stone temple stands at 2900 meters elevation on the eastern summit of Sivalik Hills, marking the southernmost edge of Himalayan mountains.
The temple structure dates from 1929 when Kashmir King Suchat Singh commissioned its construction, while the black stone idol dates to the 8th century.
The temple honors Goddess Chandi, who according to Hindu mythology, emerged to defeat demon kings Shumbha and Nishumbha who had expelled gods from heaven.
Visitors can reach the temple via a three-kilometer hiking trail or take the Chandi Devi Udankhatola cable car from the base station near Gauri Shankar Temple.
The temple forms part of Haridwar's Panch Tirth, five sacred sites where devotees perform rituals and present offerings throughout the year.
