Adorned by the quaint beauty of the Shivalik Hills, the Jayanti Devi Temple of Haryana is just a 13 km driveway from Chandigarh. The origin of the Temple is quite interesting. It is believed that the actual Temple of Jayanti Devi was in Himachal Pradesh whereas the Pindi of Devi was found in Chandigarh.

The streaming beauty of the Jayanti River on the bank of which the Temple is situated, adds a serene aura of magnificence to the entire ambience. In the past ages, the Jayanti Devi Temple of Himachal Pradesh was counted as one of the most sacred pilgrimage places.

Inspired by the bliss of Goddess Jayanti, the devotees living in Punjab decided to establish a similar shrine in their vicinity. Some of the enthusiastic followers went to Himachal Pradesh and brought back the holy Pindi of the Devi to Chandigarh. Later on, the famous Jayanti Devi Temple was built near Chandigarh to worship the sacred Pindi.
