A perfect place for weekend getaway with your family!

Serene, mesmerizing, very peaceful, calm and spotlessly clean, relaxing place with a magnificent temple in the lap of mother nature. This place is a paradise in itself! The architecture of the temple is amazing and the views around are majestic.

The entire complex is so serene and beautifully crafted. The idols are best of stone-crafts and great Indian culture. The sculptures in the place are an amazing piece of art. The temple inside is very serene and depicts scenes from mythology and is a good place for meditation.

The Krishna~Arjun sanwaad from Bhagavad Gita - Sung by Anup Jalota & Vivek Prakash, played in the background along with the beautiful views makes this place divine.

Ample parking facility is available. Wheel chairs are available. There is a Cafeteria with decent food options. Do visit the small river flowing down nearby. Though not visited, but learnt that there is also trek from the river to...
