About 100 steps to the ashtbhuja mandir. There is a ashram and few mandirs about 100 more steps above the main ashtbhuja mandir. You will find meditating Sadhus in the ashram.
As the legends say, she escaped miraculously from the heinous clutches of the demon king, Kans, of Mathura and landed upon a hilltop in Vindhyachal mountains.
The majestic temple is nestled atop the Vindhyachal mountain. Ashtabhuja Devi Temple was built to commemorate the event. It is located three kilometres from the other important temple dedicated to Vindhyavasini Devi.
The temple is situated against the backdrop of the majestic mountain range and is a great attraction for tourists as well as devotees because of its serene and picturesque surroundings.
In the days of yore, the venue was a favourite destination of the kings who would visit it to perform secret poojas, yagyas and rituals with the help of the tantriks for scoring victories over their rivals and for the fulfillment of their desires.
Amazing view from the mountain top
Too many stairs
The queue before entering the temple is not lengthy, but it can take some time as temple pandit's make few people skip the queue for a price.
I went there a day before Diwali and it turned out to be the best day to visit such places as no rush only few people were there and thats the best part
