Mata Chintpurni — she who fulfils wishes and lifts worries (chinta-purni) — on a forested hill in Una district, one of the most revered Shakti shrines of the region.
About the temple
Pilgrims come to Chintpurni to ask for the resolution of worries and the granting of wishes. The deity is worshipped in the form of a pind rather than an idol, and devotees tie a mauli thread in vow, returning to untie it once it is fulfilled.
It is the farthest of the five Kangra temples from Kangra town, so we usually fold it in with an early start, or take it unhurried over two days.
