Kasar Devi Temple

The Kasar Devi Temple, situated near Almora in the state of Uttarakhand, India, holds immense spiritual and historical significance.
 
Kasar Devi Temple is located on top a hill in the village of Kasar Devi, around 8-10 kilometers from Almora town. The temple offers a beautiful panoramic view of the Himalayas and the surrounding valleys. This temple is dedicated to Kasar Devi, a local deity revered by the Kumaoni people. It's also believed to be one of the 108 temples built by a Katyuri king, Katarmal, in the 2nd century.

The temple has a rich history and is associated with several spiritual personalities and seekers. In the 1920s, it became a hub for spiritual and philosophical discussions, attracting luminaries like Swami Vivekananda, who meditated here.
