Garhwal is the middle of Himalayas with Himachal Pradesh in the west and northwest, China in the north and western Uttar Pradesh in the south. Kumaon is located at the eastern part of Gahwal. The ancient text describes it as Kedarkhand or the region of Kedarnath. Worship of Lord Shiva and Devi Durga is predominant in the entire region. Nearly every hill top has a temple attracting villagers from the far off places. However, there are certain temples which are considered as Sidh Peeths. People visit these places regularly to revere the deity. One such temple is located at Sangura (Bilkhet). Along the right hand banks of River Nyaar (also called (Narad Ganga), there is a Siddh Peeth of Maa-Bhuvneshwari about 15 kms away from Satpuli in Pauri district. It's believed that all wishes are granted by Maa-Bhuvneshwari. Just eleven Parikramas at the temple fulfills one's wish. Legends about this temple claim that this was the home chosen by Maa-Bhuvneshwari Herself.
