The famous temple of Arududevi is located in the Abu Mountains in Sirohi district of Rajasthan. In ancient inscriptions and literary texts, Abu Mountains have been called arubadgiri or arubudanchal.

The temple of Arbudadevi comes from Narwai pond to Achaleshwar. This small temple, made of white marble, is situated in the middle of a high and huge hill and looks very gorgeous and attractive.

Read moreI visited the Aburda Devi Temple at Abu Parvat during Navratri with my wife and two little daughters, and the experience was truly spiritual and memorable.
The temple, nestled on a hilltop, offers stunning panoramic views of Mount Abu and the surrounding Aravalli ranges. The trek to the temple is moderately challenging but manageable, even with young children. There are steps leading up to the temple, and although the climb can be tiring, the cool mountain breeze and peaceful atmosphere make it worthwhile. I recommend taking short breaks along the way to enjoy the scenery.
The temple itself is beautifully maintained, with vibrant Navratri decorations that added to the festive mood. The darshan during Navratri was smooth despite the increased footfall. Devotees were respectful, and the whole environment was calm and organized. We felt a deep sense of tranquility and devotion as we offered our prayers.
What made this visit extra special was the view from the temple—it’s breathtaking! We arrived in the late afternoon, and as the sun began to set, the golden hues across the horizon made for a perfect ending to our visit. The temple bell ringing in the backdrop as the sun dipped behind the hills was a magical experience for our family.
A few tips for fellow travelers:
Footwear: Wear comfortable shoes as the climb has a lot of steps. Water: Carry plenty of water, especially if you’re visiting with children. Beware of Monkeys: Monkeys are present around the temple and can be aggressive in snatching food. Feeding them is strictly prohibited, and violators can face a fine (jurmana). Keep your food secured! Best Time to Visit: Early morning or late afternoon for the most pleasant weather and views. Parking: There’s adequate parking at the base of the hill.
Overall, visiting Aburda Devi Temple during Navratri was a divine experience. My family and I felt blessed to be part of the celebrations, and I highly recommend this temple to anyone...
