Nayar Devi Temple
The temple is mainly dedicated to the mother goddess Nayar, considered to be the same as Shakti. The ideal of goddess Nayar is a natural rock in the form of Shakti, which is said to have appeared from the earth for benefit of devotees.[1] HistoryOnce upon a time in the village of Heeraganj, a group gypsy was staying. The nomad moved and left his treasure buried in the ground; coming back to the place where the treasure had been, he found it had been dug up and received a statue of the goddess Nayar. On the temple premises, a fair is organized every Thursday. Navratri and other religious events are celebrated here. The shrine Nayar Devi is 55 kilometers from Allahabad Prayag and 45 kilometers from Belha Pratapgarh. References
