Santala Devi Temple is about 12 km from Dehradun. The temple stands as a symbol of the faith people have in the temple and has a great cultural and religious significance.

Santla Devi, along with her brother, on realizing that they would not be able to face the Mughal Army , abandoned their weapons and began to pray. A light flickered and within moments they both were transformed into stone images.

It is within the fort that the shrine was built and Saturdays marks the transformation of the Goddess into stone.
