Naina Devi Mandir ka Itihaas aur Pauranik Mahtva

Naina Devi Temple ko 51 Shakti Peethas mein se ek mana jata hai. Katha ke anusar, jab Sati mata ne apne aap ko agni mein arpit kiya, tab Shiv ji unka shareer lekar vishv bhraman karne lage. Tabhi Vishnu Bhagwan ne Sudarshan Chakra se Sati ke shareer ko tukdon mein vibhajit kiya jisse prithvi par kai sthal par unke ang gire. Naina Devi ke sthal par Mata Sati ke nayan (aankhen) gire the, isliye yah sthal “Naina Devi” ke roop mein prasiddh hua.

Mandir ka purana roop 1880 mein ek bhayanak bhukamp mein nashth ho gaya tha, jise baad mein bhakton ne fir se banwaya.
