This is very beautiful place

I am a big devotee of ladu Baba. The head priest is kind of family friend. So visiting temple and worshiping becomes a very mind and heart calming activity. On the top the thr prasad is very very good and i am not able to forget the taste. It is wrong to compare the prasad of other temple like Ananata Vasudev , mahaprasad of Puri , but here you get that authentic prasad and shanti. Its is not commercialized like other temples. Ambience is as always so calming... must recommend for people to visit the temple of Devo ke Dev Mahadev
