March 03, 2021

Surkunda Devi is a Hindu Temple near

kanatal, Uttarakhand,India.It is an
altitude of about 2756 metres lies
close to nearly hill station of
Dhanaulti and Chamba.

Surkunda Devi temple.

It is surrounded by dense forest and

affords a Scenic view of the
surrounding region including the
Himalayas to the north, and certain
cities to the South ( e.g Dehradun,
Rishikesh) The Ganga Dusshera festival
is celebrated every year between May
and June and attracts a lot of people.
This is a temple which is situated
among the trees of rounslii. It is
covered with fog most of the time of
the year.

One of the Most persistent Mythologies

Concerning the origin of worship at
the site is associated with the legend
of sati, who was the wife of the
ascetic God shiva and daughter of the
Puranic God king Daksha. Sati threw
herself onto the fire, knowing that
this would make the sacrifice impure.
Because she was the all powerful
mother goddess, sati left her body in
that moment to be reborn as the
goddess parvati. Meanwhile shiva was
stricken with grief and rage at the
loss of his wife. He put sati's body
over his shoulder and began his Tandav
throughout the heavens, and vowed not
to stop until the body was completely
rotted away. Thus vishnu Sent his
discus Sudarshana to destroy the
corpse of sati. According to various
myths and traditions there are 51
pieces of sati's body scattered across
the Indian subcontinent.

These places are called Shakti

peethas and are dedicated to various
powerful goddesses. When shiva was
passing over this place on his way
back to kailash Carrying sati's body,
her head fell at the spot where the
modern temple of Surkunda Devi Stands
and due to which the Temple's got it's
name as sirkhanda which in the passage
of time is now called surkunda.

The spot is most easily reached from

Southwest via Dehradun, but is a
typical day trip for visitors to
mussore and Landor.
