Dedicated to one of Goddess Parvati's incarnations, the Garjiya Devi Temple is perched atop a huge rock in the midst of Kosi River. Located 13 km from Ramnagar, it is one of the most famous temples in the region. It is also home to the deities of Baba Bhairon, Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha and Goddess Saraswati. A 9th Century black granite statue of Lakshmi Narayan stands within the temple.
A large fair is conducted in the temple on Karthik Poornima, the 15th day of the month of Karthik (November - December) in the Hindu Calendar. It is open for tourists throughout the year, except for the monsoons when the Kosi River dangerously swells up.
