Garjiya Devi Temple is an old devi temple close to Ramnagar in Uttarakhand. Another close destination is Jim Corbett National Park. The temple is by the side of Kosi River and is built on an isolated hill. It is around 60 km from our home now. This temple has a special place in my heart as it was a frequent destination for us while growing up. Our maternal uncle lived 15km from the temple so all the more reason to visit at that time.
We went on a Saturday and it was quite crowded that day which also says how much popular t his place is. It took around 2 hours to get to the temple as the queue was quite long. The scenery around is beautiful so it can be enjoyed. Temple also has bhandara though the food was extremely spicy for my palate.
On the way, one could see the G20 summit preparations with walls along side the road painted with murals featuring the local culture - Chholiya dance the pichoda clad kumaoni woman.
