This temple is situated on the top of the hill. You have to climb a lot of stairs to reach here. At the bottom of the hill there is a place to park the cars and we can also buy water from here if necessary. As it is a very crowded place in the evenings, people climb the hill with loud noise. Plastic wraps and bottles can be seen thrown carelessly on either side of the stairs. The environment is not very clean due to the presence of many monkeys.
