Secret of Kasar Devi Uttarakhand: Why you must visit this temple of Almora?<\/h1>\n

The Kasar Devi Temple<\/strong> in Almora, Uttarakhand<\/strong>, is believed to possess a unique magnetic field<\/strong>. The entire area around the temple lies within the Van Allen Belt<\/strong>, where a massive geomagnetic field<\/strong> exists beneath the Earth\u2019s surface. This field contains layers of electrically charged particles<\/strong>, also referred to as radiation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Recognized as a Shakti Peeth<\/strong>, the Kasar Devi Temple<\/strong> area also reveals remnants from the Stone Age<\/strong>. Due to the extraordinary sense of mental peace<\/strong> experienced here, many tourists from India and abroad<\/strong> visit this place.<\/p>\n

The Kasar Devi Uttarakhand temple complex<\/strong> is marked as a GPS point 8 location<\/strong>, a site identified by NASA<\/strong>, known for its powerful magnetic energy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Where Does So Much Energy Come From?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is said that the Kasar Devi Temple<\/strong> is located on the Van Allen Belt<\/strong>. In fact, the Van Allen Radiation Belt<\/strong> is a region of energetic charged particles<\/strong>, which mostly come from solar winds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These particles are captured by the Earth’s magnetic field<\/strong> and are retained around the planet<\/strong>. This belt surrounds the entire Earth<\/strong> and prevents high-speed and highly energetic electrons<\/strong> from reaching the planet\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

Its outer layer<\/strong> is formed by high-energy particles emitted by the Sun<\/strong>, which get trapped within the Earth\u2019s gravitational field<\/strong>. This phenomenon is known as the magnetosphere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Van Allen Radiation Belt<\/strong> was discovered in 1958 by American scientist James A. Van Allen<\/strong>. It is this geomagnetic activity<\/strong> that gives the region its high cosmic energy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Machu Picchu in Peru<\/strong> and Stonehenge in the United Kingdom<\/strong> are also located on the Van Allen Belt<\/strong>, and both places possess magnetic energy similar to that of the Kasar Devi Temple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First, Let\u2019s Talk About the Location<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking of the location of the Kasar Devi Temple<\/strong>, it is situated at a distance of just 8 km from Almora city<\/strong>. Nestled in the picturesque valleys of Uttarakhand<\/strong>, this temple is very famous<\/strong>, attracting devotees from across the country and the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Every year, on the occasion of Kartik Purnima<\/strong>, the Kasar Fair (Kasar Mela)<\/strong> is organized here, which attracts thousands to lakhs of visitors<\/strong> from different places<\/p>\n

History of the Temple<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Kasar Devi Temple<\/strong> dates back to the 2nd century<\/strong>. Located in the village of Kasar<\/strong> on the Bageshwar Highway<\/strong>, the temple stands on top of the Kashyap Hill<\/strong>, built within a cave-like structure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is believed that any wish made here is fulfilled<\/strong>. In her Katyayani form<\/strong>, the Goddess first manifested<\/strong> at the Kasar Devi Temple in Almora<\/strong>. Therefore, the sixth form of Navdurga\u2014Goddess Katyayani\u2014is worshipped<\/strong> here.<\/p>\n

Visitors not only experience the breathtaking beauty of nature<\/strong> but also a deep sense of mental peace<\/strong>. Swami Vivekananda<\/strong> visited this place in 1890<\/strong>. The area is also known for the Crank\u2019s Ridge<\/strong>, which gained international fame during the Hippie movement of the 1960s and 70s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Specialty of the Temple<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The entire area around the Kasar Devi Uttarakhand<\/strong>\u00a0lies within the Van Allen Belt<\/strong>, where there exists a massive geomagnetic field<\/strong> inside the earth. This field contains a layer of electrically charged particles<\/strong>, which can also be referred to as radiation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For the past three years<\/strong>, NASA scientists<\/strong> have been engaged in understanding the reasons behind the formation of this belt<\/strong>. Through scientific studies<\/strong>, they are trying to find out what effect this magnetic field<\/strong> has on the human brain<\/strong> and nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the studies conducted so far, it has been found that the Kasar Devi Temple in Almora<\/strong>, Machu Picchu in Peru (South America)<\/strong>, and Stonehenge in England<\/strong> share similar characteristics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Famous visitors to Kasar Devi<\/h3>\n

Many famous personalities like Swami Vivekananda<\/a>, Bob Dylan, Rabindranath Tagore, and DH Lawrence<\/strong> have visited Kasar Devi Uttarakhand. Swami Vivekananda even meditated in a cave nearby in 1890<\/strong>, where visitors can now sit and reflect.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Similarities\u00a0 These Three Sacred Sites<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are three tourist sites in the world<\/strong> that are also being researched by scientists<\/strong>. These include Machu Picchu in Peru (South America)<\/strong>, Stonehenge in England<\/strong>, and the Kasar Devi Shakti Peeth in Almora (India)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thousands of years ago<\/strong>, civilizations flourished<\/strong> around all three of these sacred places<\/strong>. NASA scientists<\/strong> have conducted research on the causes and effects of the magnetic charge<\/strong> found at these three locations.<\/p>\n

Temple Architecture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The temple<\/strong> has been constructed according to the design of present-day temples<\/strong>. Located amidst dense forests<\/strong>, the temple has been renovated from time to time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
