Today we are going to discuss the Surkanda Devi Temple which is situated at an altitude of 9000 feet from sea level. The temple is one of 51 Shaktipeeth temples and is highly famous among pilgrims and tourists. The temple is located on the Mussoorie-Chamba road near Unniyal Village and Dhanaulti, of Uttarakhand. Earlier the devotees and pilgrims visiting the temple had to travel a lot for the Darshan of Surkanda Devi. But this problem has been solved recently by the government of the state. Recently, CM Pushkar Singh Dhami visited Maa Surkanda Devi Temple and inaugurated the Kaddukhal-Siddhpeeth Devi ropeway service.
