Ranikhet is a hill station and cantonment town in Almora district in state of Uttarakhand. It is home for Military Hospital, Kumaon Regiment (KRC) and Naga Regiment and is maintained by Indian Army. Ranikhet is at an altitude of 1869 metres above sea level and within sight of the western peaks of the Himalayas. Ranikhet, which means Queen's meadow in Hindi, gets its name from a local legend, which states that it was here, that Raja Sudhardev won heart of his queen, Rani Padmini, who subsequently chose area for her residence, giving it name, Ranikhet, though no palace exists here. In 1869, British established headquarters of Kumaon Regiment here and used station as a retreat from heat of Indian summer. At one time during British Raj, it was also proposed as summer headquarters of Government of India, in lieu of Shimla. Ranikhet previously was under the Nepalese Rule, and Kumaonese (people of Kumaon Region) won it under the leadership of their able General Kashi Nath Adhikari – after whom the small town of Kashipur was named (which at one point of time was the gateway to hills and is now an educational and medicinal hub) – with the help of Britishers at around 1816 and is a part of India now.

Jhula devi temple, Ranikhet Jhula Devi temple is situated at a distance of 7 km from town near Chaubatia. It is said that jungle neartemple was once full of wild animals, leopards and tigers used to attack local villagers. The villagers prayed to Maa Durga for protection, and one day Goddess Durga came in a shephard's dream and advised him to excavate her idol. This temple was constructed at spot where the shepherd found Goddess Durga's idol. Since then pilgrims come to make a wish to Goddess Jhula Devi. And when their wish is fulfilled they come again to thank Jhula Devi Maa by offering a bell to the temple. The popularity of the temple can be realized by number of bells hanging over the temple walls. The temple priests have to timely shift the old bells to a different place to make room for the new bells that are tied everyday.
