hello everyone..hope yoy are doing well and enjoying the last day of the year. two days ago I went to pavagadh mahakaali(god) temple.
Pavagadh is a Hill Station, and a Municipality in Panchmahal district about 46 kilometres away from Vadodara in Gujarat state.
pavagadh is also known for a famous Mahakali temple which draws thousands of pilgrims every day from the different states.
Best part about is Pavagadh Archaeological Park was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2004.
The height of Pavagadh hill built like volcanic cone This is what the name Pavagadh indicates (Pavgadh means fire-hill). It is of 922 metres and one can find many scenic trails such as waterfalls, views, and valleys while climbing.
history of the temple -
mahakali temple is also known as kalika temple. It is the oldest temple in Pavagadh. This is the residence of Kaali Maata. This is one of the Shakti Peethas as the left toe of Sati(roop of paravati).
How to reach the temple -
As I already told you temple is at a height of 900 metres. If you are energetic enough to climb 2000 steps then its good 😂 or you can opt for Ropeway with help of trolley or cablecar. Pavagadh Ropeway has a capacity to carry 400 people in 1 hour. you have to buy tickets for cable car and then reach near the temple. It will drop you at a certain height. From the top the view was awsum. The greenery around the hill and the beautifull on the other hill top was a heavenly site to see. It was very much exciting moment to remain in the sky atleast for 5 min. I have takens many pictures from top . Some of them sharing here.
After the cable car journey.
From there you still need to climb altleast more 250 steps to reach the temple. while climb the steps there are many shops. you will also enjoy shopping while going up. Even i captured this moments also.

Along with the blessings of goddess, one gets a pack of joy. It was one of the memorable trip.

Namasate ...!
