Tara Devi is one of the oldest temples in Shimla and one of the important religious sites in Himachal Pradesh. This temple is 250 years old. It is located on the Kalka-Shimla Highway near Shogi and is 15 kilometres away from Shimla town. According to people, Tara Devi was actually the Kull Devi, which is the family deity of the Sen Dynasty. Tara Devi came from the eastern state of Bengal. Legends say that this temple was commissioned by Bhupendra Sen. He ordered for a Maa Tara Devi Temple near the present-day temple on 50 bigha of land. Later the temple was shifted to a hilltop by Raja Balbir Sen. The hilltop was known as Parvat, the intention behind shifting the temple to a hilltop was to let Maa Tara spread her blessings on everyone and on everything.

The best time to visit Tara Devi Temple is during Shardiya Navratas particularly on Ashtami, which happens on an annual basis.
