Mansa Devi Temple crowns the Bilwa Parvat in the Shivalik Hills overlooking the sacred ghats of Haridwar. As the wish-fulfilling deity born of Sage Kashyapa’s mind (Manas), Goddess Mansa is revered by millions of pilgrims who tie sacred threads on branches of holy trees inside the courtyard, returning to untie a knot once their wishes come to fruition. Alongside Chandi Devi and Maya Devi, Mansa Devi constitutes the sacred Siddha Peetha triad guarding holy Haridwar.
