The Shakti Peethas and the great Devi temples draw pilgrims all year, and most of all during Navratri and Durga Puja. Vaishno Devi's climb, Kamakhya's hilltop shrine and Kolkata's Kali temples each have their own rhythm of queues and rituals.
We plan around the festival calendar, arrange battery cars, ponies or the helicopter at Katra, and choose stays close to the temple for early darshan.
