Anusuya Devi Temple is one of the famous holy temples of Uttarakhand which is located in Gopeshwar of Chamoli district. This temple is situated at an altitude of about 2000 meters from sea level. Sati Anusuya temple is located at a distance of 19 km from Gopeshwar town and 29 km from Chamoli town. It is situated in the way of the Gopeshwar-Chopta route. One has to first reach Mandal village and then trek for 6 km to reach the temple of Anusuya Devi. One of the famous pilgrim places in Chamoli District is the Anusuya Devi Temple, dedicated to the goddess Sati. She was the wife of Atri Muni, a great sage and one of the Sapta Rishis, It is said that Devi Anusuya was fully dedicated to her husband. Anusuya Mata Temple trek is a short one-day trek of some 6 km. The trek ends with a smooth climb through a beautiful village and a lush forest along the banks of a river.
Visiting the Anasuya temple, when the traveler approaches the temple, he first sees a magnificent idol of Ganesha, which is built on a rock. It is believed that Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshswara took the form of Anusya Devi’s sons and lived here. A large festival is organized here every year in the month of December during the time of Dattatreya Jayanti, attended by hundreds of devotees.
The Atri Muni Ashram is located at a distance of 2 km from the Anusuya Mata temple. The ashram is carved in the form of a cave. This place is believed as the only holy place in the world where devotees circumambulate around a river as a mark of reverence.
In the month of December, on the occasion of Dattatreya Jayanti, here a large fair is organized every year.
Maa Anusuya Devi fair is organized on a large scale and it is believed that those couples who are deprived of the happiness of children, come here with a wish to have children. No one goes empty-handed from the door of Maa Anusuya Devi.
Here, staying awake the whole night, the couple worships the mother and asks for a vow to have a child. During this, the couple sits with a lamp in their hand until the couple has a dream and it is said that the couple does not tell anyone about the dream and after the dream comes, the vow is definitely fulfilled.
The trek starts from Mandal Village, which is around 13 Km from Gopeshwar, on the road going towards Chopta-Tungnath. you can go through a max/sumo and your private vehicle from Gopeshwar to Mandal.
At the beginning of this trek, we find a small village, going beyond that, the forest begins, through which we have to make our journey. After going 2.5 km ahead in this trek, we first see Ganapati Ji which is an idol carved on a stone. Going further than this, we also see some small inscriptions.
It is not even known when the journey of 6 kilometers will be covered while looking at the beautiful and beautiful view. You go to the temple and do your worship and prayer.
After staying in the temple for some time, you take us to the hermitage of Atri Muni. After staying here for some time and having darshan, return to Mandal quickly because there is a way through the forest and there may be danger of wild animals in the forest at night.
The next day you can also go to Chopta Tungnath from Gopeshwar, it is a very beautiful trek.
