Kukuda Mai Temple (kukuddaa maaii) - Hindu temple in Karas - Bageshwar, India

On Bageshwar-Garuda road 8KM from Bageshwar, Right turn towards temple road and head more 10 KM. One hour road travel then 4-5KM walking distance. Road is not good, don't go on rainy day . Beautiful views in between. Himalayan darshan, cheed jungle. Temple situated in secluded place. You can stay there for night. Keep khichdi items, fruits, water and cook yourself. Water problem may be there. Take darshan of Kukuda Mai and take her blessings.

If you love to see Himalayan ranges this is a must go, you can see the small towns from a Bird's eye view,very close to the city you can visit anytime except maybe monsoon , winter is the time I would recommend you to visit especially for clear himalayan views due to heavy snow on peaks as well as high visibility

Nantin Maharaj spent time here and established the first temple of Kukuda Mai. The top can be reached in half an hour from Bageshwar side (temple road cuts few kms before the city). The climb uphill is fairly easy. The jungle area is largely pine. You can see Kapkot on one side and Garud on the other. Beautiful Himalaya view on a clear day, but pine trees obstruct the full view of the Himalayan Range.

He used to treat uncurable diseases by his power of ayurveda and blessings of god.The Kali Maai temple situated in the steep slope just below the Kukada Maai temple was also a place of meditation of Param Pujya Shri 1008 Nanttin Maharaj ji.Maharaj ji attained samadhi in late 1970s but is present in the heart of his followers and is visible to the people within their heart and brain who remembers him with great love and devotion.
