Chandra Badani |
| Three Sidh Peeths,
are located on the top of three different mountains, dedicated
to 'Sati' the wife of 'Lord Shiva'.
All the three temples are linked with a famous tale when Sati,
daughter of Daksha Prajapati, immolated herself at the
sacrificial spot Lord Shiva took the dead body of his wife and
started walking towards the
Himalayas
. The places where the parts of her dead body fell are known as
Kunjapuri, Surkanda Devi and Chandrabadani and are thus
worshipped as Siddha Peeths. |
| One
can reach the Chandrabadani temple either from Kandikhal
en route Srinagar-Tehri, from where it is a 8 km walk to the
temple or from Janikhal en route Dev Prayag-Tehri via a link
road up to Jurana (9 km) and then take a bridle path (1.5 km) up
to the temple. |
| A
big fair is held in April every year. Adding to the various
religious and culture performances, the view of the snowcapped
Himalayas
is soul lifting. A visit to the shrine is an experience to
cherish. |
