Shakti Temple
The Shakti temple is located directly in front of the Vishwanath temple, which is dedicated to Devi Parvati. The main attraction here is a massive and heavy trident – about 26 feet tall – that Goddess Durga threw on the devils.
The power of the mother is represented here by a massive trident that is estimated to be more than 1500 years old, and this Trishul is considered one of Uttarakhand’s oldest remains. It demonstrates the extensive Indo-Tibetan cultural exchange of Tibetan inscriptions in ancient times. The Naga dynasty is described on the Metal Trident, which stands 26 feet tall and is located near the main Shiva temple.
The Trishul has an amazing feature in that it cannot be moved with your entire body force, but it vibrates when you apply pressure with one of your fingers.
