History of the temple is ..

Goddess Chandi also known as Chandika is the presiding deity of the temple. The story of the origin of Chandika is as follows: Long time ago, the demon kings Shumbha and Nishumbha had captured the kingdom of the god-king of heaven - Indra and thrown the gods from Swarga (heaven). After intense prayers by the gods, a goddess emerged from Parvati. An exceptionally beautiful woman and amazed by her beauty, Shumbha desired to marry her. On being refused, Shumbha sent his demon chiefs Chanda and Munda to kill her. They were killed by goddess Chamunda who originated out of Chandika's anger. Shumbha and Nishumbha then collectively tried to kill Chandika but were instead slain by the goddess. Thereafter, Chandika is said to have rested for a short while at the top of Neel Parvat and later a temple was built here to testify the legend. Also, the two peaks located in the mountain range are called Shumbha and Nishumbha

To reach the temple one has to either follow the three kilometre trekking route from Chandighat and reach the shrine by climbing a number of steps or climb the recently introduced rope-way (cable car) service. The rope-way service known as Chandi Devi Udankhatola was introduced for the benefit of the pilgrims and it caters to the pilgrims also to the nearby located Mansa Devi shrine.

This temple is located on the Neel parvat on the hills in the holy city of Haridwar in Uttarakhand state. It is a siddha peeth where desires get fulfilled and one of the panch teerths in Haridwar. As per mythology, Goddess Parvati took the form of Chandi and killed demons Shumbh - Nishumbh & Chand - Mund at this place. Flowers, sweets, garland, insence sticks are offered to the deity and can buy from INR 50. It is about 4 kms from Har ki Poudi and entry is free. We used cable car to go to the temple which cost us INR 193.

It is located at much higher altitude. Rope way is really good and reliable. View from above is excellent. Neat and clean premises. Few shops and hotels are there at the top near temple. Few amusements are there while entering. Security check in is strict. Keep your entry passes handy while entering and during exit for both the temples.

Chandi Devi mandir is beautiful, you can get here by cable car (or you can say ropeway) which costs you around 200 rupees for 1 round trip. By entering the temple we can able to see the chandi Devi statue and on the left side of gallery there is a door by which we can get inside to pay our tribute. Lots of people come here per day and they tie holy chunri and wish for success and happiness.
After this you got to see stairs by which you get downstairs and here some other statues of God's are present with a number of shops like bangles, clothes, Jewellery, sweets, etc.
Beware of monkeys as they try to snatch the Prasad and other eatable items.
