Overview

This temple was constructed in the 11th century and it is one of the oldest temples in India. Maya Devi Temple is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Durga and is also one of the three Shaktipeeth that is believed to be the place where the heart and belly button of Goddess Sati fell. 


Goddess Maya is known to be a form of Adi Shakti who is believed to be the Goddess of divine power. Devotees of the Goddess visit in large numbers during Navratra and Kumbh Mela to take her blessings. Maya Devi is known by many as the chief Goddess of the holy city and no pilgrimage is complete without doing Devi’s darshan.


Previously, this city was even known as  Mayapuri in worship of this Goddess. The ancient Maya Devi Temple is also one of the three oldest temples of Haridwar which is still intact in the other two being Narayana-Shilla and Bhairava Temple.


Along with goddess Maya, this holy temple is graced by the idols of goddess Kamakhya and goddess Kali who are also a form of Adi Parashakti. It is a common belief that the holy temple is a Siddha peeth which means that the presiding goddess has the power to fulfil any desires or wishes of the person seeking Her blessings.
