Peace, Solitude, and Enlightenment.
The Girija Devi Temple is the sacred landmark of Uttarakhand, India that exceeds any expectations of an excursion to a site. This magnificent place transports your mind to a peaceful setting shared by a combination of religious figures and spectacular scenery. The temple sits on a mountain top about 100 ft above the Kaushiki (Koshi) River, which gives views of the Himalayas in the distance. As you make your way to the top, you are greeted and blessed by a priest. The 360 degree views of the terrain around the temple truly represent its title: “A distinguished miracle.” We got a chance to reflect and have 15 minutes to ourselves, which was probably the best part. The crystal clear water with the sun setting on the Himalayas became a true moment of solitude. There is not much else that displayed the scenery and serenity the temple exemplified.
