Chandrabani is a well-known temple in Dehradun, which is the central city. It is dedicated to Goddess Chandrabani. The temple is in the Shivalik hills, surrounded by lush greenery. It is also famous as Gautama Kund in the area where the great teacher Gautama is thought to have lived.

The Chandrabani Temple is one of the most popular places to visit in Dehradun. It is famous for being influential in mythology, and hundreds of people go there every day. It is a shrine to the goddess Chandrabani and is also famous as Gautama Kund. 

There are many trees around the temple, and it has a fascinating past. It might not be your typical place to visit as a tourist in a city, but you should go there at least once with your DEHRADUN TOUR PACKAGE. There is grass and the Shivalik ranges of mountains all around the temple. 

It's a beautiful and peaceful place because of all of this. A river called Ganga runs next to the temple. Thousands of people come here to bathe in the river Ganga every year.

What is the history of Chandrabani Temple?

Hindu stories say that Maharishi Gautama lived here with his wife Ahalya and their daughter Anjani. People began to honour Sage Gautama after he meditated here for a few years. Some people also think that Ganga, the daughter of god, came to life on April 13, 2013, at this temple. In this case, a big show is still held here every year on this day.
