Kalinka, Pauri Garhwal, Hindu temple in Pauri Garhwal, India.
The Kalinka Temple stands at 2100 meters on a rocky hilltop, featuring a lotus-bud shaped dome and offering views of Dudhatoli hills and Trisul peaks.
The Badiyaari community, a semi-nomadic shepherding tribe, established the temple after a shepherd received divine instructions to build a shrine at the mountain summit.
The Kalinka Jatoda winter fair brings thousands of people from fourteen surrounding villages to participate in religious ceremonies and communal celebrations.
The temple is accessible through multiple routes from both Garhwal and Kumaon regions, located 108 kilometers from Ramnagar and 189 kilometers from Pantnagar Airport.
A cooperative named Garhwal-Almora Kali Mandir Vikas Samiti, formed by residents of twelve villages, maintains the temple grounds and manages development projects.
