Reviewed By Mihirshah28 - Ahmedabad, India

Visiting holy place is always a treasure, having the virtue without hardship never be remembered, if you visit from Kumbhalgarh it is hiking by trail to reach this holy place. When we reached to the cave temple we found so peacefulness and it is having true story of representation of tenacity performed by Parshuramji Lord Shankar-Parvati manifested this holy place, it’s worth visiting the place as we look to do hiking the trail and the holy place, but those who love to visit easy way there is another route is from Ranakpur.
