Sureshwari Devi Temple, Haridwar: a temple in the forest

Maa Sureshwari Devi's temple is set inside the forest of Rajaji National Park, away from the crowds of the city. Devotees believe Indra (Suresh) himself worshipped the Devi here.

Visiting

The road to the temple goes through forest, so most people come by car or taxi. The setting is green and peaceful, very different from the busy ghats.

Navratri is the main festival, when the temple sees large crowds.
