Uttarakhand--Garjia Temple - 20150119-02

            Garjiya Devi Temple is a noted Devi temple located in the Garjiya village near Ramnagar, Uttarakhand, India, on the outskirts of the Corbett National Park. It is a sacred Shakti shrine where Garjiya Devi is the presiding deity. The temple is situated over a large rock in the Kosi river and is one of the most famous temples of the Nainital district, visited by thousands of devotees during Kartik Poornima, a Hindu holy day celebrated on the fifteenth lunar day of Kartik (November – December).

The first priest was Pt. Keshav Dutt Pandey who began worship of Devi Girija. There is also a statue of LakshmiNarayan of 9th century, made from black granite. Many people from nearby areas go there every day to worship in the temple. Many people bathe in the Kosi river near Garjiya temple.   (Wikipedia)
-----------------
There was also a thriving market across the river.  Worshippers have to be careful because Corbett National Park is one of the many tiger sanctuaries in India.
