    Aarathi Ukkada Ahalya Devi Maramma Temple Pandavpura This is an ancient n historical temple of mata aahalya Devi. The temple located 3 km from Pandupura railway station. Very Ancient temple of Sri Shakti Ahalyadevi also called Ukkada Maramma, very powerful goddesses for people who are effect by black magic, the people who believes in such things comes here to get rid of evil things. The temple is very crowded on Amavasye, Hunnimme and Sundays. It is believed that making certain offerings to the Goddess here helps ward off the evil eye and jinx in one’s life (Drishti/nazar). Usually Coconut, lemon, and egg are made as offering to ward off evil eye. The priests involved in this activity try to fleece money from the devotees by charging heavy amounts. Fix the rate first by bargaining before you do the rituals. It is better to have darshan of the deity first and then go to do “Thade Hodeyodhu”(evil eye removing). No reserved parking space. People park wherever space is available thus causing traffic issues. Although we got parking initially at the entrance arch, later our driver got the vehicle inside the lane near the temple. The entire area is a conglomeration of shacks, roadside vendors and very ugly tarpaulin and plastic sheet covered shacks which have even infiltrated into the temple hall. One can hardly see the temple from the outside. Only a portion of the sanctum tower can be seen from outside. In front of the sanctum are crowd management barricades in a cramped up area giving the entire sanctum a very cramped and congested and ugly look. The only solace is that one can see the idol inside the sanctum properly because of a step in front of the sanctum. This view is also possible provided the crowd of devotees is less. Else you get just pushed away through the barricades. The priests literally yell at you if you pause for a few minutes before the sanctum. The entire area is dirty and filthy with stray dogs and dumped junk and Devotees offer non veg to the Goddess after completion of their prayer fulfilled, Various Pooja are available here, devotees cooks nonveg food and offers for other devotees.

    Very famous temple (Devi Ahalya) Wife of Sage Jamadagni and Mother of Shri Parashuram. Legend states that Shri Rama broke the curse of Ahalya Devi turned into stone by divine touch of his feet, Custom of pouring black sesame on sides of gopuram of temple to get blessings of amma is followed here,If you are facing problem and feel like things are not moving ahead or you believe that someone has done some black magic against you, then you can do a small pooja called "Thade, people around the temple are a bit money minded

    This place is very crowded on Amavasye, Hunnimme and Sundays. It is believed to remove jinx (Drishti/nazar) by offering Coconut, lemon and egg. Be cautious they ask money ₹5/₹10/₹20 for things they supposedly keep announcing to pay only ₹5 for most of the places. Don’t go on giving for whatever they ask, please. It only makes it worse later on. Bargain. First do the darshan and then go to do “Thade Hodeyodhu”(jinx removing). Parking will be a problem so searching around will be there and it’s paid parking.

Devotees offer non veg to the Goddess after completion of their prayer fulfilled, Various Pooja are available here, devotees cooks nonveg food and offers for other devotees, Specially in Ashada according to Hindu calendar thousands of devotees perform pooja and offers whatever they prayed specially on full moondays and amavasya days. People come from for distance and other states, all types of materials are available for cooking needs, Good to see near by Greenery.

    In the temple, the amma idol is small, If you are facing problems and feel like your work is not getting fully satisfied or the results are negative or you believe that someone has done some black magic against you, then you can do a small pooja called "Thade". Must Visit Temple.
