Kainchi Dham is a spiritual ashram and temple complex located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India, known for its association with Neem Karoli Baba, a revered Hindu saint.[1][2][3]
The ashram was established by Neem Karoli Baba in the 1960s on land donated by a local resident. Its name, "Kainchi," which translates to "scissors" in Hindi, is derived from the two sharp hairpin bends in the mountainous road leading to the site.[4][5][6][7]
