The town around the shrine

The springs and the main temple form one uphill sequence: Tapt Kund first, then Singh Dwar and the three inner halls.
Brahma Kapal, Sheshnetra and Mata Murti are outside the inner temple route and should be planned separately.

This plan is free, and nothing on this page is sold. We work out the visit, then hand you to the temple's own desk.

The plan ends hereand the temple takes it from you.

A booking, a seva, a room, a fee — every one of those is the shrine's own, taken at its own counter or on its own site. We do not stand between you and it, and we take nothing from what you give.
