Known as a Siddh Peeth, it is believed that sincere prayers at this temple never go unanswered. The temple attracts millions of pilgrims every year, especially during Navratri and the Kanwar Mela.
Mansa Devi Temple was constructed between 1811 and 1815 by Maharaja Gopal Singh of Mani Majra. It stands on Bilwa Parvat, one of the Sidha Peeths in Haridwar, where it is believed that the heart and navel of Goddess Sati fell.

Devotees believe she grants their heartfelt wishes, which is why many tie sacred threads around the wish tree in the temple complex.
