Chitai Golu Devta Temple,Kasar Devi Temple and Jageshwar Temple are some of the famous temples of Almora. ...
I will brief you with the importance of these temples.

Chitai Golu Devta Temple

This temple is located inside thick forest of the chir pines. It is an important religious attraction of the region. Thousands of devotees offer their prayers and make wishes as their wishes are fulfilled.
They in turn offer bells after the fulfillment of their wishes. Thousands of bells can be seen hanging over the temple premises. Temple walls are covered with court stamp papers, which are petitions from devotees who have not got justice in the court.

Kasar Devi Temple

Kasar Devi is a village near Almora, Uttarakhand. It is known for the Kasar Devi temple, a Devi temple, dedicated to Kasar Devi, after whom the place is also named.
This temple has been found to be of special importance because the region around this temple has enormous geomagnetic field. This is because this temple comes under the Van Allen Belt. The causes behind the formation of this belt have been researched by NASA for the last two years. Two other famous places which have been found to have similar high magnetic field (Van Allen Belt) are Machu Picchu in Peru and Stone Henge in England.
