Naina Devi Temple

The word Naina is synonymous with Sati’s eye. It is considered as one of the Shakti Peeth. According to a popular legend, Goddess Pārbati and Lord Shiva jumped into the sacrificial bonfire. To mourn the death of his wife, Shiva carried her on his shoulder and performed the Dance of Destruction. Vishnu’s chakra- Sudarshan Chakra- went through Parvati’s body and various parts of the body fell at different places. Her eyes fell on the place where the Naina Devi Temple stands today.
