You will need to trek to reach this place but it's worth the effort. The temple is beautiful and located in a serene place. 12 feet tall statue of Lord Mahavira is too majestic to look at. Then there are statues of all the 24 tirthankaras of Jain religion. Built in modern times, the statues are made of metal and portray metal art of modern era. The temple was not at all crowded. Darshan was quick and we could spent some time in solitude.

We had left the car before the bhaja caves nd walked up tking the short cuts with our son. Most of them including youngsters went up using vehicles right up to the fork , one goes towards visapur fort and the other towards Lohgadh fort. Climbing up the rocks was enjoyable. Only youngsters were climbing up the rocks.

Chatushringi Temple , located atop a hillock was originally outside city limits but has now become an epicenter of business activities. Inspite of the growth around it, the place still manages to energise you with its own very special aura and charm. A visit to the Temple and a small climb of < 100 steps leads you to the sanctum sanctorum of the presiding diety .The MOTHER goddess with her divine power rejuvenates you. The area is very well maintained. A evening visit would give you an Eagles Eye view of the Western Suburb of the City wich is a brightly lit up sight. A visit in the monsoons is highly recommended
