Kunjapuri Devi Temple is perched at an elevation of approximately 1650 meters on a hill, offering panoramic views of snow-capped mountains and the Ganges River. It is situated around 25 kilometers away from the sacred town of Rishikesh in Uttarakhand, India. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Sati, believed to be one of the thirteen 'Shakti Peethas' in the region.

It is an important spiritual and cultural hub, attracting visitors looking to perform religious rituals or simply to enjoy the serenity and captivating scenic beauty.
