Shri Naina Devi Mandir, Bilaspur H.P
Shree Naina Devi Ji, the Kuldevi of millions of Hindus throughout the globe. The mandir is located on the top of a hill at an altitude of about 1200 meters. It was built by King Bir Chand of the Chandel dynasty in the 8th century.
Pouranik story is related to Yagna of Daksha Prajapati, Father of Devi Sati. Bhagavan Shiva was not invited by king Daksha Prajapati in that Yagna. Sati felt insulted, and she burnt herself alive in Yagna Kund, after this incident Shiva became extremely distressed.
Shiva picked the burning corpse of Devi Sati on his shoulder and started Taandava. This horrified all deities as taandava of Shiva can lead to the destruction of the universe i.e. Mahapralaya. So, they requested Bhagavan Vishnu to stop Shiva.
After, that Bhagavan Vishnu unleashed his Sudarsana Chakra that cut the body of Sati into 51 pieces. Shree Naina Devi Mandir is the place where the eyes of Devi Sati fell, So due to fallen eyes (नैन), this place is known as Shree Naina Devi.
Mandir is directly connected with the NH-205 at a distance of about 70 km from Bilaspur city, 105 Km from Chandigarh, 15 Km from Bhakhra, about 25 Km from Anandpur Sahib, and 35-40 Km from Kiratpur Sahib.
The oldest path to reach the temple from the bus stand includes hundreds of stairs and devotees climb these stairs by shouting “Jai Mata Di”. A Rope-way facility is also available which can be used to reach the top of the hill.
One of the beauties of this temple is a non-stop Langer (Free Mess) for devotees’ by temple trust which includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner free of cost. Kadhi, Daal, Rice, and Roti are the main dishes of the langer.
