Another very important temple in Ranikhet is Jhula devi temple which is a Durga devi temple and recognised as a very powerful one. Located close to Chaubatia this is a 8 th cen temple. There is a dense forest this surrounds this temple and a number of wild animals such as leopards and tigers, who used to attack the villagers, inhabited these dense woods near the temple.According to legend then the villagers prayed to the Godess to save them and she appeared in the dreams of a shephard and asked him to excavate her idol.After the idol was discovered a temple was built on this very spot. Hence this temple is believed to fullfill wishes of the devotee. Like any other hill temple this temple has a large number of bells that hang around the premises. These bells are tied by devotees who want to ask for a boon or whose wishes are fulfilled. There are two shops that sell the beautiful odhnis or chunaris that are offered to the devi along with other pooja samagri.
