Naina Devi Temple

The Naina Devi Temple is a well-known Hindu pilgrimage destination in Nainital, Uttarakhand, India. On the shores of Naini Lake, the temple is devoted to Goddess Naina Devi, a manifestation of Goddess Parvati. The temple is one of India's 64 Shaktipeeths and is visited by thousands of worshippers each year.

The temple complex has temples devoted to several deities such as Lord Hanuman, Lord Ganesha, and Lady Kali. The temple's main shrine, which is embellished with beautiful carvings and paintings, is claimed to date back to the 15th century. Goddess Sati's eyes landed on the site where the temple presently stands, according to mythology, after Lord Shiva carried her charred body on his shoulders. The name ""Naina Devi"" is derived from the Hindi word ""Naina,"" which means eyes.
