Una District

Maa Chintpurni is one of North India's most visited Shaktipeeths — devotees come to offer their worries (chinta) to Goddess Chinnamasta. Located in Una district near the Punjab border, it anchors the Kangra–Una Devi triangle with Jawalamukhi and Naina Devi, drawing massive Navratri and Sawan Ashtami crowds.

Una is Himachal Pradesh's southern gateway where the plains meet the Shivalik hills, straddling the Swan River valley. The district town blends Punjabi and Pahadi cultures, serves as the base for Chintpurni pilgrimage, and sits on the main route from Chandigarh and Hoshiarpur into Kangra and Mandi.

Bangana sub-division rises above the Swan River valley to Thaneek Pura — a cluster of hill temples including Sheetla Devi that draw pilgrims during Sawan Ashtami. The ridge offers wide views over Una district and the Punjab plains, combining spiritual visits with easy Shivalik hill walks.

Dera Baba Barbhag Singh at Mairi is a major Sikh pilgrimage complex near the Punjab border, revered for Baba Barbhag Singh's spiritual legacy. Set in Shivalik forest hills, it draws devotees during Holi and annual fairs, complementing Una's Chintpurni and Bangana temple circuits.

Gagret is a growing foothill town on Una's main highway corridor, where the Swan River meets Shivalik slopes. It serves travellers heading to Chintpurni, Kangra, or Hoshiarpur with local markets, river views, and easy access to Una district pilgrimages.
