Nestled in the peaceful hills of Almora, Kasar Devi Temple is one of the most beautiful and spiritually powerful places in Uttarakhand. Just a short drive from Pinak Homestay, this sacred site offers not only religious significance but also breathtaking views of the Himalayas and a unique energy that attracts travelers from across the world.
A Temple with a Rich History
The Kasar Devi Temple dates back to the 2nd century CE. It is dedicated to Goddess Kasar Devi, believed to be a form of Durga, who protects her devotees and the valley. The temple gained worldwide attention in the 20th century when famous personalities like Swami Vivekananda, Bob Dylan, and German astrologer Carl Jung visited it. This peaceful hilltop became a spiritual center during the 1960s and is still visited by seekers of inner peace and meditation.
The Mysterious Magnetic Field
One of the most interesting facts about Kasar Devi is its strong magnetic energy field. It lies on the Van Allen Belt, similar to other mysterious places like Stonehenge in England and Machu Picchu in Peru. Many visitors report feeling calm, peaceful, and mentally refreshed after spending time at the temple. This makes it an ideal spot for meditation, yoga, or simply soaking in the natural beauty.
Scenic Beauty and Panoramic Views
Located at an altitude of over 2,100 meters, the temple provides a stunning view of the Himalayan peaks, including Nanda Devi. The surrounding pine forests, cool breeze, and chirping birds add to the magical experience. Whether you’re a nature lover, photographer, or spiritual traveler, Kasar Devi is a must-visit place near Almora.
Best Time to Visit Kasar Devi
You can visit Kasar Devi Temple throughout the year. However, the best time is between October and June, when the weather is pleasant and the skies are clear. If you want to see the temple in full festive spirit, plan your trip during the Kasar Devi Fair, held annually on Kartik Poornima (usually in November).
