Launched!! Mahathir vs. Abdullah: Covert Wars and Challenged Legacies
Friends: A book I helped put together about the Mahathir-Abdullah conflict has recently been launched!! :D
It appears timely, as Tun appears to have gone back on the warpath a bit. We'll follow the developments closely.
The book is a compilation of articles that try to cut through the sandiwara (playacting) of the vicious war of words, and see what really drove TDM to launch such a merciless attack on his handpicked successor, as well as analyze the factors influencing each turn this scandal-ridden battle took. It also includes letters from Malaysiakini readers – representing a truly wide spectrum of opinion, critical thought, and passionate support for both parties.
The book features a number of high-profile contributors, including Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Guan Eng, P. Gunasegaram, Tian Chua, Collin Abraham, M Bakri Musa, Steven Gan, P Ramasamy, James Wong, Kim Quek, Charles Hector, Khoo Kay Peng, and many more. The full table of contents is reproduced below :)
Note to Malaysiakini letter writers: do check out the tables below to see if your letter made it to the book!! :)
Also just wanted to say a big thank you to all the contributors! Special thanks too to those who have helped highlight the book since its launch – in the blogosphere (which I'll continue to update), this includes contributors James Wong, Khoo Kay Peng, and Tian (thanks for the overly kind words wei, paiseh! :) and the ever-lovely politikus!
To be perfectly up front, I get a small cut from the sales, so your support is undoubtedly appreciated :) The book can be purchased online through Kinibooks or at most major bookstores (will try to get a list soon!) . Alternatively, esp if you're in the Klang Valley, you can sponsor me even more and drop me an e-mail at nat[at]jelas.info, and I can see about putting one straight into your hands :D
So yeah, it was great experience getting to communicate with all those authors and going through all their views and analyses.. good stuff :) They've got a whole lotta incisve thoughts to share, so grab a copy! :)
(ps- If any of the contributors to the book listed below wish to help sell copies of the book, I do believe special arrangements can be made! :)

[1] This is in reference to Abdullah's claim that assessing his performance at such an early juncture is like judging a football player only ten minutes into a match.
"For Malaysians who are watching this contest with morbid interest, it is hard to back either one of them – not Mahathir, for what he had done and not Abdullah, for what he has not done.
This fight, if it persists, will undoubtedly pry open a can of worms. Both parties stand to lose much. At stake for Mahathir is whatever left of his legacy. Abdullah – and his ministers – will find their own fingerprints on every decision they blame on their ex-boss.
Truth must be told no matter which sides it comes from. Let everything hang out, warts and all."
– Steven Gan
"The recent spat between former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and his successor, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, is farcical to say the least. Dr. Mahathir has been whining like a wounded lion as he sees some of his policies reversed. But the irony is that Mr. Abdullah's actions have so far been too weak and indecisive to constitute any serious challenge to his predecessor's legacy.
Ordinary Malaysians can see only too clearly the hypocrisy of Dr. Mahathir's behaviour. When he complains of being muzzled by the media, Malaysians remember how his opponents repeatedly suffered the same fate during his more than two decades in power. His grumbling about being threatened with the Official Secrets Act sound strange coming from a man who presided over a period when this act was repeatedly invoked against his critics."
– Anwar Ibrahim
"Essentially, the conflict represents an intra-Malay/Umno conflict over the access to resources, business opportunities and power.
Similarly, the conflict between Mahathir and Abdullah is about forces aligned to these two leaders competing for scarce resources and power. The conflict has become bitter and acrimonious because the side aligned with Mahathir seems to have lost out in access to material wealth by way of contracts, business opportunities and favouritism."
– P Ramasamy
"It is not difficult to see that in his tussle with Abdullah, Mahathir made the fatal error of treading on the most sensitive spot of the Umno hierarchy – corruption. His threat to reveal evidence of corruption – one at a time – must have unnerved and angered his former colleagues. After all, who among them could lay claim to a clean slate, right up to the very top? Mahathir's misstep must have been an important contributing factor that tipped the balance."
– Kim Quek
"It was the Dollah administration's approach to economic matters that truly threatened to unravel some of the most important policies Mahathir had struggled so hard to propagate in his two decades of power. The word 'struggle' is not used lightly. One of Mahathir's single most lasting legacies was to violently uproot the dominance of the feudal and civil service cultures that Dollah was raised in within Umno and replace it with capitalist/industrialist ones.
By the end of Mahathir's reign however, he had not succeeded in his goal of transforming Umno into a party of corporate entrepreneurs; instead, being unable to truly come to grips with diligent entrepreneurship, Umno largely become a party of rent-seeking contractors."
– Tian Chua & Nathaniel Tan

The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law class of 2016 celebrated a joyous commencement on May 31, 2016 at David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center.
The New Yorker - Before the Supreme Court's decision in that case, which prevented Virginia from blocking the N.A.A.C.P.'s efforts to help local victims of racial discrimination, laws against third-party funding of lawsuits were selectively applied to civil-rights groups, Sebok said.
Professor Lester Brickman, Member of Founding Faculty and Nationally Recognized Scholar in Mass Tort Litigation and Contingency Fees, Retires
Professor Brickman, one of the founding members of the Cardozo faculty and a nationally recognized scholar in mass tort litigation and contingency fees, retired this summer after 51 years of teaching.
The majority leader of the Connecticut state senate, Senator Bob Duff, has appointed Professor Edward A. Zelinsky to the board of directors of the newly-established Connecticut Retirement Security Authority.
Dean Melanie Leslie spoke with Cardozo's incoming class of 2019 at orientation on Thursday, August 18, 2016. The students, who are part of the school's 40th class, learned about Cardozo's history of ambition, innovation, leadership and activism. "It's our 40th year, so I want to talk about the things that have made the law school great," said Dean Leslie. "The four values that characterize us and explain why we're different than other law schools."
Members of Cardozo's class of 2019 took time out from meeting faculty and their fellow students to talk a bit about why they chose the law school.
"Should We Be Fighting Robots – Or Becoming Them?" Professor Brett Frischmann's Paper Highlighted in Techly

Last week, news "surfaced" about a giant deep-sea bug and a nine-legged octopus.
This week, it's the creepy "Oriental yeti" as well as a new lizard species.
Learn something ewww every day.
Or so it seems online. Such critters have been crawling all over recent lists of popular searches.
"My god, it's a monster!" That was Reddit.com's headline when a someone posted a couple of grisly pictures, asking readers to ID a bizarre 2.5-foot creature found at a depth of 8,500 feet - more than a mile and a half down.
"What is this, Reddit? Is it edible?"
"It's a giant isopod. ... I love giant isopods because my girlfriend screams every time she sees a picture of one," one reader wrote. "And yes, they are edible. They're apparently quite the delicacy in Taiwan."

Monument à Sir Wilfrid Laurier (1953), created by Émile Brunet Did you know Brunet also designed the Canadian pavilion for the Exposition universelle in Paris in 1937? His portrait of the former prime minister that stands in Dominion Square represents Laurier's successful union of western and eastern Canada, thanks to the symbolic use of the maple leaf. Note the bed of flowers, too, at Laurier's feet: French lilies, Scottish thistles, English roses and Irish clovers mix to represent Canada's four founding nations.

Meet a Montrealer: Lesley Chesterman
Montréal is famous for its great restaurants, and Montrealer Lesley Chesterman is renowned as one of the city's premiere fine-dining critics and food columnists. The widely-respected Montréal Gazette food critic and author – whom you can also listen to on CHOM 97.7 FM and on the ICI Radio-Canada radio program Médium Large – is fearless and sometimes controversial, but always honest. "I was with a big New York restaurant critic last week and he thinks the restaurant scene in Montréal is the best in North America, including San Francisco," says Chesterman. In addition to her own reviews in The Gazette, Chesterman recommends reading Eater.com's Montréal page. "I agree with about 36 reviews on their Eater 38 for Montreal – that list is very strong," says Chesterman. "We're the only Canadian city to have an Eater's page – they gave up on Vancouver and Toronto. Montréal is really that good.

Meet a Montrealer: World-class speed skaters Charles Hamelin and Marianne St-Gelais
In the case of world-class speed skaters Charles Hamelin and Marianne St-Gelais, it's all about heart. It's what propelled the young Montréalers individually to several Olympic medals (Hamelin has three golds and a silver, and St-Gelais has two silvers) as well as numerous national and international championship titles between them. It's what caused Canadians to fall in love with them during their incredible medal run at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010. And the fact that by that time they had fallen in love with each other didn't hurt either. We caught up with the winning and winsome couple in advance of the ISU World Cup Short Track in Montréal, the first World Cup speed skating competition of the 2015/16 season, which will be held at the Maurice-Richard Arena in the Olympic Park from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1. The elite facility houses one of Canada's two National Training Centres for high performance short track speed skating, and it's home base for Hamelin and St-Gelais.

Meet a Montrealer… Andy Nulman
Since he's a guy who has little time for self-important titles, Andy Nulman's latest professional incarnation – Chief Attention Getter for the self-explanatory Society for the Celebrations of Montréal's 375th Anniversary – seems to strike just the right light-hearted chord. An indefatigable creative (he might also say "disruptive") force, the colourful Just For Laughs co-founder is more than just a masterful marketing and big-picture business brain. In addition to his current work shouting about Montréal from the mountaintop, as it were, he also teaches a fairly unorthodox and in-demand marketing class at Montréal's McGill University. And this summer he's putting the "fun" in fundraiser, directing a multimedia musical benefit show for the Segal Centre for Performing Arts. Nulman is the definition of a free thinker, and his boundless curiosity is matched only by his limitless love for the city he calls home. In fact (and this might come as a surprise for some), this citizen of the world is also a wee bit of a Montréal homebody. What's your role at 375MTL?

Welcome to fight night!
Big fight boxing returns to the Manchester Arena tonight as Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton makes his comeback against former WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko.
Hatton vs Senchenko headlines a great card of fights that also features two WBA interim world title fights - both with British interest.
Scott Quigg takes on Rendall Munroe for the WBA interim super-bantamweight world title, while Martin Murray lines up against Venezuela's Jorge Navarro for the WBA interim middleweight world title in two cracking undercard fights that should have the packed 15,000-strong crowd on the edge of their seats.
Then, from around 10pm, we'll see the return of "The Hitman".
It promises to be a cracking night of fights, so why not join us and follow the action as we bring you round-by-round updates on the night's big bouts.
The Hitman is in the building!
We've just seen footage of Hatton arriving at the Manchester Arena in the back of a Mercedes. He looks relaxed, confident and in good shape. Hopefully he's rehydrated properly and sufficiently since yesterday's weigh-in and we'll see him looking not only fit, but strong at the weight, when he steps through the ropes some time after 10pm tonight.
Nice to see some familiar faces involved in Primetime's television coverage tonight. Hosting the show is former Sky Sports stalwart Paul Dempsey, while the best commentator on TV, Ian Darke, has the mic for commentary duties.
In the pundit's chair alongside Darke is the always-excellent Richie Woodhall, while up in the studio, Dempsey is joined by Ryan Rhodes and the current WBA welterweight world champion Paulie Malignaggi.
With "The Magic Man" in the studio, Dempsey's unlikely to get too many monotonous answers to his questions. Malignaggi talks even better than he fights.
Chatting to Ronald McIntosh deep in the bowels of the Manchester Arena, Ricky Hatton reveals he's been relaxing ahead of tonight's bout by watching a few episodes of Only Fools and Horses.
Hatton's return to the ring comes at the venue of arguably his greatest triumph, his 11th round stoppage of Kostya Tszyu back in 2005. If he can harness the memories of that performance and come close to replicating his display that night, we could be in for a memorable night.
Coming up: Scott Quigg vs Rendall Munroe
Two of Britain's most exciting talents face off for the WBA interim world super-bantamweight title after a technical draw in their last fight failed to provide a decisive result.
They'll be the next bout in the ring, and we'll kick off our live round-by-round coverage with this fight. It should be a keenly-contested affair and one that regular followers of the domestic scene will have been looking forward to for weeks.
MC Paul Booth is doing the honours in the middle of the ring, announcing the two combatants. This looks set to be a cracker. We're about to get off and underway with our first live bout of the evening.
It's Scott Quigg vs Rendall Munroe. Here we go...
End of Round 1
Steady start to the bout, with Munroe looking the more comfortable early on, landing some nice combinations. Quigg fought mostly off the back foot, but hasn't yet really thrown anything of significance. First round goes to Munroe.
Scorecard: 10-9 Munroe
End of Round 2
Much better round from Quigg, who takes the second stanza with an impressive display of counter-punching. He's targeting the body early on, laying the groundwork for the later rounds, perhaps.
Munroe threw some decent combinations of his own, too, but the second round goes to Quigg on my scorecard.
Scorecard: 19-19
End of Round 3
Another good round from Quigg, who seems to have settled into his rhythm now after a slow first round.
He's mixing up his shots well, and finding a home for his lead left hook on a regular basis against the southpaw Munroe.
The undefeated Quigg is beginning to take charge early on and now leads on my scorecard.
Scorecard: 29-28 Quigg
End of Round 4
The noticeable difference between the two fighters so far is speed. Munroe is setting a steady, plodding pace, whereas Quigg is darting in and out, looking much more lively and generally moving about with a lot more zip than the Leicester man.
It's another round for Quigg for me, who now leads by two clear rounds on my card.
Scorecard: 39-37 Quigg
End of Round 5
Rendall Munroe's work would see him winning the fight against most other super-bantamweights from these shores, but Scott Quigg's speed and movement is just proving a little too much for him so far.
Munroe looked to put Quigg under more pressure in Round 5, upping the pace and looking to get his shots off first, but Quigg still looks the sharper.
Closer round, but Quigg's slicker work, capped off with a big right hand in the final minute of the round, takes it for me.
Scorecard: 49-46 Quigg
A solid left hook to the ribs sends Munroe to the mat for the count of eight, then, just a matter of seconds later, another big body shot to the same spot sends the Leicester man to his knees once again. This time he doesn't make it up in time and the referee waves it off.
Quigg's left hook to the body was working well from the start of the second round, and it paid dividends as he takes the win to claim the WBA interim super-bantamweight world title.
All being well, the next time we see Scott Quigg in action it could be for a full version of the world title. That was a very impressive performance.
"That is a massive statement," says Ryan Rhodes, who calls for a match with Carl Frampton in 2013.
Talking about Quigg's body shots, Paulie Malignaggi said, "If you put those in the bank, they'll pay off later in the fight," and that's exactly how it panned out.
Munroe had never been stopped before in his pro career, but Quigg outboxed him, broke him down and stopped him with body shots in the sixth round. Superb performance.
"Mentally he's a little bit lacking," says Paulie Malignaggi of Hatton's opponent Vyacheslav Senchenko.
Could a fast-starting Hatton put the Ukrainian on the back foot and start to put doubts in the former WBA champion's mind?
Up next: Martin Murray vs Jorge Navarro
Another Brit gets a shot at an interim world title as Martin Murray, who went so close to winning a full world title against Felix Sturm in Germany, takes on Venezuela's Jorge Navarro for the WBA interim middleweight world title.
Navarro is billed as a heavy-handed opponent for Murray, whose performance against Sturm was worthy of better than the draw he received in their bout last December.
Fingers crossed the man from St Helens can get the job done decisively, pick up a WBA belt and move on to another shot at a full world title.
Interesting mash-up of styles for Martin Murray's entrance music here in Manchester.
John Denver morphing into The Prodigy. Not too many DJs will have done that little combo before, I'd suggest...
Jorge Navarro's record: 12 fights, 12 wins, 10 KOs. The quality of opponents is less known, however, with only two of his wins against fighters with winning records, according to the Primetime broadcast team.
Here we go, WBA interim middleweight world title on the line. Martin Murray vs Jorge Navarro.
We know Murray is world class, but we know precious little against Navarro. We're about to find out a lot more now.
We're off and underway in Round 1.
Murray lands a perfectly-timed right hand that floors Navarro towards the end of the first round. Navarro bounces up and is OK to continue, but gets battered until the bell from that moment on.
End of Round 1
Big opening round for Martin Murray, who used the first half of the round to take a look at Navarro, then decided he wasn't too much to be concerned about and went on the attack.
The knockdown at the end of the round seals a 10-8 score to kick off the bout.
Scorecard: 10-8 Murray

More About This Wine
About Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue
With it's iconic rooster emblem, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue is one of the most recognizable and revered producers of the Cote de Nuits. Much of this has to do with the estate owning nearly three-quarters of the grand cru Musigny, considered by some to be the finest Pinot Noir vineyard in the world. Founded in 1450, Comte Georges de Vogue managed to gain early stakes in some of Burgundy's most exceptional vineyards.

90 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - March/April 2008
($119) Good medium red. High-pitched, slightly exotic aromas of raspberry and wild mint. Sweet, silky and rich but at the same time light and lively, with lovely purity and perfume to its fruit and mint flavors. Finishes broad and seductive, with lovely lingering perfume. Firmly built, but I find this harmonious from the get-go.

Tikal is among the world's travel wonders and many are calling it one of the most spiritually powerful spots on earth. The monumental site with its towering pyramids looms out of the thick jungle canopy like stoic sentinels of ancient mysteries.
Tikal was once a wealthy metropolis of 100,000 inhabitants and the seat of power for the great Jaguar clan lords. Today, Tikal attracts archeologists from all around the globe and the wild-live surrounding the ruins makes it a naturalist's dream. Because of its importance and magnificent combination of nature and archaeological remains, Tikal has been declared a Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The ruins of Tikal include more than 3,000 structures extending over six square miles and including palaces, temples, ceremonial platforms, ball courts, terraces, plazas, avenues and steam baths. The ancient Maya began building Tikal around 600 B.C., and for the next 1500 years the area was an important religious, scientific, and political center.
The Tikal National Park is not only home to an ancient Mayan City. The area surrounding the park is a ancient jungle which provides habitat for a wide range of animals, including monkeys, white lipped peccary, brocket deer, coati-mundi, toucans, scarlet macaws, parrots, ocelots; even the seldom jaguar can occasionally be spotted. Along with many vegetation spices there is also an abundance of tropical flowers and all include nature's soundtrack to travelers of the area in form of screeching howler monkey calls and squawking parrots.
The charming town of Flores, with its pastel-colored buildings, enjoys a scenic setting on Lake Peten Itza. It is located about half an hour from the entrance of the National Park and serves as a gateway to explore the immediate area.

About Ghost Signs
Almost every Australian has seen a ghost sign without knowing they are called Ghost Signs. Ghost Signs are the marvellous hand-painted signs we see on old brick walls. The brick walls can be fences, the sides of buildings, above awnings and verandah's, almost any space considered to be prime 'advertising space' way back when. Over the years, the vast majority of signs have vanished, either fading away with the weather, or when the buildings were demolished, but thankfully, some have survived the march of time. In part, the survival has been due to luck.. a sign painted on the side of a building that then had another building built next to it and obscuring the sign. Then many years later, the newer building is demolished to reveal the sign in all its glory to a new era. … Read More..

Tuesday, October 1, 2013
Patriots Point dedicated the month of October to promote breast cancer awareness through its campaign, "The Fighting Lady is in The Fight." On Oct. 1, the USS Yorktown was illuminated pink at night, which will continue through the end of the month.
Employees and visitors will be encouraged to support the campaign through dropping donations in the pink donation boxes at the entrance to the USS Yorktown and The Ship Store. Money raised will be donated to the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina.
"When the men were fighting on the USS Yorktown decades ago, they were fighting for their country but also for their mothers, grandmothers, sisters, wives and daughters back home," Patriots Point executive director Mac Burdette said. "'The Fighting Lady' joined 'the fight' more than 70 years ago and she's going to continue her support against this dreaded disease that affects so many women and their families. Today our efforts are even more important given the number of women who serve in the US Navy and onboard our warships."
Committee members for the Patriots Point Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign chose to donate monies raised to Hollings Cancer Center, because it will benefit the museum's neighbors.
"The Hollings Cancer Center breast cancer fund supports tri-county patients at critical times during their care," Megan Baker, breast surgeon and medical director of the Hollings Cancer Center's Comprehensive Breast Care Program, said. "This may take the form of financial support for a post-mastectomy bra, for vital genetic testing, dietary counseling or physical therapy intervention. These funds are also essential to educational efforts undertaken throughout our community to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention, high-risk assessment and life-saving clinical trial opportunities for patients."
Following an Oct. 1 ceremony at the Yorktown pier, attendees tossed pink carnations into the Charleston Harbor in honor or memory of someone they love who has been affected by breast cancer. The pink fire truck from the North Charleston Fire Department was onsite.

Chandi Devi Temple, located on the top of Neel Parvat, is one of the most famous temples of India. This place is of great religious importance and is also considered as one of the Shakti peethas of North India. This temple is also known as Siddh peetha, as it is believed to have powers to fulfil the wishes of devotees.
According to legend, it is believed that Goddess Chandika Devi rested for a short while on Neel Parvat. This happened after she killed demon kings, Shumbh and Nishumbha. This temple was constructed to welcome her back.
Chandi Devi Temple was constructed in 1929 by Suchat Singh, who was the reigning king of Kashmir. However, it was believed that the idol present in the temple was installed in 8th century, by Adi Shankaracharya.
Tourists travelling to this temple can hire an auto-rickshaw, cycle rickshaw, tongas or taxis, from any part of Haridwar. In addition, travellers can also opt for trekking-route, which is around 3 km from Chandighat. Another mode of transportation available for reaching the temple is through the cable car. It takes duration of around 20 to 25 minutes so as to reach the holy shrine.

This temple is located on the hill and I just 4kms away from the Haridwar city and one can easily come here from city just by auto rickshaw, buses and jeeps. To reach the temple there are two ways, one is through steps which somewhat critical to step that much up and another one is the "ropeway" which just costs only 200/- per person. I recommend everyone to come through ropeway to have a "excellent view of the Ganges river and the city view on the other side". And from rope way drop point it takes few 200mts height steps to be climbed, then reaches the temple, once reached be careful with the pujaris out there as they publicly demand money from the devotees. Other wise the temple goddess is so powerful and the temple is neatly maintained. It takes about 1hr for dharshanam, I suggest every one to visit this temple.

"Addional benefit of visiting Haridwar"
- Posted Jan 22, 2016
Jai Mata Di. This temple is 3km away to main Haridwar city. One can easily come here by hiring rickshaw, auto or take combo package like me.
I took combo ticket of Mansa Devi + Chandi Devi which includes both side ropeway fare of both the temples and transportation between Mansa Devi to Chandi Devi and will leave you at the same point you board near Mansa Devi. The combo ticket is unbelievable cheap comes with only Rs. 220.
Visiting Chandi Devi Temple will give you an aerial view of Haridwar city, mountains and Ganges. And as an additional gift just 50 meters walk one more temple you will love to see is Anjani Devi Temple. The mother of our God Hanuman g's. Aware of pujaris here, they are not much professional and would directly demand you dan punya. Food points are available, you will love to rest here in blowing cool winds of mountains (pure oxygen).

"One of the important religious place to visit"
- Posted Dec 16, 2015
There are two ways to visit the temple. Rope Way and through walking. The temple is on the other side of the town and is being taken through a bus ride from Mansa Devi Temple. One can visit separately also skipping Mansa Devi Temple. The rope way ride is excellent, organised and systematic. One can get the view of entire city of Haridwar from the hills and while climbing through the rope way. The temple is also one of the important Hindu religious place to visit.

This again being a Shakti Peeth is worth visiting. Perched on a hilltop, you can go & come via Cable Car. Also transport available by temple authorities to take you to & fro to Mansa Devi on chargeable & reasonable basis. Same goes for Mansa Devi to Chandi Devi also.

While our stay at Haridwar, one morning we decided to visit this holy place. It is Maa Chandi Devi Temple, we have to go through ropeway, Small Garden near to ropeway is very beautiful. From Udan Khatola you have a nice view and you will reach on top in minutes. There are lots of monkey in Chandi Devi Temple, so be careful for your belonging, it is very old and beautiful temple. I definitely visit to this place again.

This temple uses the same route and space like Mansa Devi Temple. This temple is also a religious location and offers a space to the worshipers who visit and offer prayers to this Devi.

"Chandi Devi Temple is a good temple"
- Posted Sep 2, 2015
It was a good experience. One can reach the temple by rope way within 5 minutes, though trekking of about 2. 5 Kms. Distance is a different experience and if weather is not hot, it is better to go on foot.

Chandi Devi Temple is said to be one of the most spiritual place in Haridwar and I myself have visited there many times. Chandi Devi Temple is the place where you can find the true spirituality of Haridwar and there is a saying that you should probably visit Chandi Devi Temple if you are visiting Haridwar. This is the place where you can truly devote your time to the Chandi Devi and it is said that if you make a wish there then the wish is fulfilled by Chandi Devi. I am not just saying it but it's the thing the people talk about here in Haridwar. So it's your time to just experience the spirituality and peace of Haridwar. Come and enjoy the true colours of Haridwar.

Mansa Devi Temple is known as of the important religious temple in Haridwar as it is the temple of Devi Mansa. We went to temple through ropeway and also to Anjani Devi Temple also in the same journey.

Religious place, you can see the Devi by taking the robe car. You have to visit this temple during day time only. When you are going by robe car you can view the Haridwar city very nicely.
