Naina Devi Temple
This is one of the 51 Shakti Peetha. It is the place where the eyes of Devi Sati fell. The word Naina is derived from this. The temple is located atop the Naina hillock in Nanital. After entering the main gate of the temple, devotees first bow their head before the statue of Lord Ganesha and Lord Hanumana. Further, there are two statues of lions at the main entrance of the temple. Within the temple itself, there are three deities - Mata Kali Devi, two eyes of Naina Devi and Lord Ganesha. Devotees of Naina Devi undertake a walk of around half an hour up to this temple to have a darshan of their revered deity.
