Chandi Devi temple is situated on the top of a hill, called the Neel Parvat, which is on the other side of the river Ganga. The temple was constructed by Suchat Singh, King of Kashmir, in 1929 A.D.

It is a 3 km trek from the Chandi Ghat. The story goes that Chanda-Munda, the army chief of the Demons Shumbh-Nishumbh were killed by Goddess Chandi hence, the name Chandi Devi. It also said that the original statute of Goddess Chandi was established by Adi Shankaracharya in 8 th century A.D. Now a ropeway has been built, which takes you to the top. Chandi Devi is 6 km from the main town of Haridwar.
