Mansa Devi Temple, Haridwar

About Mansa Devi Temple
Mansa Devi is an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess who is believed to fulfil wishes (Mansa = wish, Devi = goddess). The temple is one of the Siddh Peethas — a powerful seat of the divine feminine. Pilgrims come here to tie a sacred thread on an ancient tree in the temple premises and return to untie it after their wishes are granted.
The temple is accessible both by a cable car (ropeway) and by a steep trekking path. The ropeway ride takes about 4 minutes and offers stunning aerial views of Haridwar. The views from the hilltop — overlooking the entire city, the Ganga, and the green Himalayan hills — are breathtaking.
