Since time immemorial, people from all walks of life have been visiting Naina Devi's temple for a darshan of Maa Naina Devi (Mother Goddess). They come with hope - chanting Jai Mata Di, and pray to get their wishes fulfilled.

Legend

According to legend, Lord Shiva’s consort Sati once burnt herself alive in Yagna to avenge an insult to Lord Shiva. The distraught Shiva picked her corpse and gyrated his horrified dance. Then Lord Vishnu unleashed his Chakra and cut the Sati’s body into fifty one pieces to save the earth from Shiva’s wrath.

All the fifty one places - where parts of Sati's body fell, became known as Shakti Peeths.

It is believed that Sati’s eyes fell at the place where this temple is

The word Naina is synonymous with Sati’s eyes. Since then, devotees started visiting this temple. Once the devotee reaches the hill top, prasad can be bought from any of the various shops or it can also one's own offerings from home. After crossing the main gate, there is a big Peepal tree on the left side. On the right side of the temple there are idols of Lord Hanuman Ji and Ganesh Ji. After reaching the main entrance of the temple, there are two statues of lions.
