Garjia Mata Temple, Ramnagar

An ancient temple of Garjia Devi is worth a visit. Ramnagar is 30 kms. from Kaladhungi, 13 kms, from Ramnagar on the way to Dikhala Garjia Devi temple is situated on a huge rock in the midst of river Kosi. A large fair is held here on Karthik Purnima. It's a small boondock named after "Garjiya Devi Temple". The temple here is sacred place of pilgrimage or devi ka mandir (temple of Goddess) built over a mammoth rock in the centre of Kosi River.



A daily worship is offered to the temple goddess who is believed to protect her followers of all bad omens. A unique belief of the locals residing here is that the temple never submerges even during heavy floods, and is supposed to have existed for years without being effected. The sanctum sanctorum showcases its best during Kartik Poornima Fair, held once a year.

t is an old temple of local goddess Devi Garjia a ridge high in the middle of the river Kosi. Approximately 14 kilometers (8.75 miles) of Ramnagar Ranikhet way, the temple is a sanctuary Garjia pretty surrounded by lush greenery and flanked by the gurgle of the river Kosi. Ramnagar is the bus terminus, where the last page of the temple, about 14 km weird, where you can cover in a private taxi or a clean vehicle. A fair assumption is at the temple Kartik Poornima, when supporters of the Kumaon and around the country to take part in the celebrations and offer their prayers flocked to the goddess.

Jai Mata Di
