Drive the Rishikesh\u2013Badrinath<\/a> road and you’ll pass a small temple standing on a platform in the Alaknanda River. It’s easy to miss if you don’t already know to look for it. Locals treat it as one of the more important stops on the whole route, and pilgrims heading to Kedarnath or Badrinath rarely skip it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The temple sits at Kalyasaur, in Pauri Garhwal district, on the river between Srinagar Garhwal<\/a> and Rudraprayag<\/a>. Two things bring people here: the belief that the goddess’s face changes through the day, and the story of how the original shrine was moved just before the 2013 floods hit Uttarakhand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quick Answer:<\/b> Dhari Devi Temple is at Kalyasaur, Pauri Garhwal district, on the Rishikesh\u2013Badrinath road \u2014 about 120\u2013124 km from Rishikesh and roughly 15 km from Srinagar Garhwal. Darshan is commonly reported as 6:00 AM\u201312:00 PM and 2:00 PM\u20137:00 PM, though no government source publishes these hours, so confirm locally if your schedule is tight. Entry is free. October\u2013February and March\u2013June are the better windows to visit; July\u2013August brings landslide risk on this stretch and is worth avoiding if you have flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\n
