Dhari Devi

Dhari Devi, Hindu temple near Alaknanda River, Srinagar, India

Dhari Devi is a Hindu temple on the banks of the Alaknanda River between Srinagar and Rudraprayag in Uttarakhand. It houses the upper half of the goddess Dhari's idol; the lower half is in Kalimath. The black sculpted face has three horizontal forehead marks and a carved crown, with marigold garlands hanging on both sides.

The original shrine stood on the Alaknanda riverbank at Kalyasaur village. On 16 June 2013 the idol was moved to a concrete platform about 611 metres above the river to clear the site for the 330 MW Alaknanda hydroelectric dam. Hours later the North India floods washed away the shrine town. A new temple was later built at the original location.

The shrine holds the upper half of a goddess figure, while the lower half rests in another sanctuary called Kalimath. Pilgrims visit both locations to honor the connection between the separated halves.

Access is via National Highway NH-58, with regular bus connections from Srinagar and Rudraprayag. The path from the parking area to the temple involves some steps along the riverbank.

The temple keeps only the upper half of the goddess's idol; the lower half is worshipped at Kalimath, about 65 km away. Local lore says the dismembered halves floated downriver separately, the upper half reaching Kalyasaur village, where a washerman found it and was told to place it on a rock.
