Maa Mansadevi Temple is one of the most important temples of North India and the second most important destination after Har-ki-Pauri in Hardwar.Goddess Mansadevi is the daughter of Saint Kashyap. She was born from his mind and therefore became famous by the name 'Mansadevi'. 'Mansa' also means wishes. Mansadevi is therefore also known as the Goddess who fulfills the wishes of the devotees visiting the temple.Devotees visiting the temple tie threads on a secred tree near the temple seeking blessings of the Goddess for fulfillment of their wishes. They return to untie a thread from the same tree once their wishes are fulfilled.

Located on top of Shivalik hills, Mansadevi temple is one of the most ancient and famous Sidhpeeths (holy places where one's wishes are fulfilled). Mansadevi alongwith Chandidevi and Mayadevi temple form a Siddhpeeth triangle in the holy city of Hardwar. Here one statue of the Goddess has three faces and five arms while the other image has eight arms.
