Uttarakhand is situated in the lap of remote Himalayas, known as Dev Bhoomi. Here, the worship of various deities is prevalent in different places. One of these Shakti Peetha 'Maa Kalinka Devi' (Maa Kali Mother) is situated in the peak of a high mountain on the border between the two districts of Pauri and Almora.
