    Mayadevi Temple is a significant Hindu temple dedicated to Goddess Maya in the sacred city of Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India. The temple holds great religious importance as it is believed to be a Shakti Peetha, where the heart and navel of Goddess Sati fell. Goddess Maya is revered as the Adhisthatri deity of Haridwar and is depicted as a three-headed and four-armed deity, believed to be an incarnation of Shakti. Haridwar was formerly known as Mayapuri in honor of this deity. The temple is considered a Siddh Peetha, where devotees' desires are believed to be fulfilled. Haridwar has three such Peethas, including Mayadevi Temple, Chandi Devi Temple, and Mansa Devi Temple. The temple's presence is an important part of the spiritual landscape in Haridwar, drawing devotees from far and wide to seek blessings and fulfillment of their prayers.

    Maya Devi Temple The Maya Devi Temple is located in the holy city of Haridwar in Uttarakhand, India. It is one of the most ancient temples in Haridwar and holds great significance among devotees. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Maya Devi, who is considered to be one of the forms of Goddess Shakti. According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that the heart and navel of Goddess Sati (an incarnation of Goddess Shakti and the first wife of Lord Shiva) fell at the same spot where the Maya Devi Temple stands today. Therefore, the temple is considered a Shakti Peetha, a sacred place where body parts of the divine goddess are believed to have fallen. The Maya Devi Temple attracts a large number of pilgrims and tourists throughout the year, especially during religious festivals like Navratri. The temple features a unique architecture and is adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. Inside the temple, there is a black stone idol of Goddess Maya Devi, along with idols of Goddess Kali and Lord Shiva. Visitors to the Maya Devi Temple often offer prayers and perform rituals to seek the blessings of the goddess. The temple complex also houses several smaller shrines dedicated to various Hindu deities. The Maya Devi Temple holds immense religious and cultural significance and is an important pilgrimage site in Haridwar. It is a place where devotees come to seek solace, peace, and divine blessings

    The temple is said to be both Shakti peeth and Siddhi peeth. This is where it's believed that Maa Sati's Navel and heart has supposedly fallen. This is a small temple which is surrounded by what looks like rooms for travellers to stay. It was quite dissapointing to see the temple which is said to be a Shakti peeth and Siddhi peeth to be in this manner and not developed or on the top pick list of visitors.

    Haridwar was previously known as Mayapuri which is because of the Goddess Maya Devi. Dating to the 11th century CE, this ancient temple of Maya Devi, theย Adhishthatri Deviย (Patron Goddess) of Haridwar, is considered one of the Siddhapithas and is said to be the place where the heart and navel of Goddessย Satiย had fallen. It is one of few ancient temples still standing in Haridwar, along with Narayani Shila temple and Bhairav Temple.

    The temple is dedicated to Goddess Maya, who is considered an incarnation of Adi Shakti or the Primeval Power. She is believed to be the goddess of power and energy. It is one of three such Peethas located in Haridwar, the other two being Chandi Devi Temple and Mansa Devi Temple. Unlike Chandi Devi and Mansa Devi temple which requires either ropeway or walking along the hill to reach there, Maya devi is situated in the heart of Haridwar, near the Har Ki Pauri ghat. The temple priest is having knowledge of many Indian languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam etc. Rush is not much when we visited during December.

    "According to the Hindu mythology, Sati (Lord Shiva's wife) set herself on fire When Lord Shiva came to learn than Shiva undertook a tour of the whole universe carrying the dead body of her. Hindus believe that it was at the temple site of Maya Devi where the naval and heart of Sati fell down.ย โ€
