History & tradition
Chandi Devi Temple stands on top of Neel Parvat, on the eastern summit of the Sivalik Hills at Haridwar in Uttarakhand. It is dedicated to the goddess Chandi. The present temple was built in 1929 by Suchat Singh, the ruler of Kashmir, while the main image is said to have been installed in the 8th century by Adi Shankaracharya. Also called Neel Parvat Teerth, it is one of the Panch Tirth, the five pilgrimages within Haridwar, and devotees revere it as a Siddha Peetha, a place where prayers are fulfilled.
