    Temple is very beautiful but not neat & clean. Well structured,Bus facilities are there at every 10mins, rope facilities are there but Now under maintenance. Puja items are available at uphill. Lots of monkeys near at temple. Temple renovation work is On. Yes important thing is here priests are very greedy they do Puja as per donation & area wise divided. Lunch is available at their cost till now 100 rupees per plate. Here the place can be more cleaned or sanitatised. Darshan was too good & soothing. Jay Mata di🙏
