Adhar Devi Temple

A small Durga shrine reached by 365 steep stone steps cut into the rock above the Mount Abu plateau, 3 km north of the town. The temple itself occupies a natural cave that you have to stoop to enter; the image of the goddess is set into the rock wall. Pilgrims come for the steep climb as much as the shrine. Views over the town and lake from the top are very good; allow 45 minutes for the round trip and start early to avoid the heat.
