Anusuya Devi Temple is dedicated to Sati Anusuya, the epitome of female chastity and devotion, located deep inside the Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary near Mandal in Chamoli. Surrounded by pristine rhododendron and oak forests, the temple is reached via a celebrated 5 km stone hiking trail from Mandal. Continuing 1.5 km beyond the temple leads to the remarkable Atri Muni cave, situated behind a roaring mountain waterfall where Sage Atri and his wife meditated.
