It's a lovely temple of Vaishno Devi in the middle of the mountain. You need to climb approximately 500 stairs to reach there. Seaters are available in between this journey so that anyone can rest if needed. From temple you get a beautiful scenic view of half of Rourkela (as other half remains on the other side of the mountain). You can have a lovely time sitting there with your loved ones. Also you can get all the things need for the worship in the temple premises only.

Full of water surrounded by series of valley looks like true nature. The spot is really very good to enjoy your quality time with family or friend. The only thing to worry about is people/visitors are creating lots of garbage and place is getting polluted day by day. So please do not liter and save our environment. This place is really heritage for the city.
