🕉️ Kasar Devi Temple, Almora
Kasar Devi Temple is a tranquil yet mysterious spiritual retreat nestled near Almora in Uttarakhand. Perched atop a hill with breathtaking Himalayan views, this ancient temple is dedicated to Goddess Kasar Devi, believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Durga.
What makes Kasar Devi truly special is its unique geomagnetic field, said to be part of the Earth’s Van Allen Belt — the same magnetic energy line that passes through Machu Picchu and Stonehenge. Visitors often describe experiencing deep calmness, focus, and heightened spiritual energy here. Over the years, this mystical haven has attracted saints, seekers, and global travelers — including Swami Vivekananda, who meditated here in the late 19th century. The peaceful pine forests and crisp mountain air make it an ideal destination for yoga, meditation, and introspection.
