The whole mountain of Umga situated in the Aurangabad district of Bihar is filled with surprising elements. From time to time many historians came to this mountain and gave different theories about the origin of the temples built here. It is believed that there were 52 temples initially but some of them got demolished over time and some by the invaders. Now there are about 5-6 temples left in good condition. One can still find so many ruins of temples and other structures all over the mountain. The main temple of Umga called the Sun Temple is still standing in a dilapidated condition following the rules of the Nagara style. As per the first inscription discovered by Markham Kittoe in 1847 the main Umga temple was built in 1496 by Bhairavendra. But the other ruins and idols indicate that it's way older than we think. There is a temple in a U-shaped cave 500 meters from the main Umga temple, known as the Umangeshwari cave temple. The deity Umangeshwari is believed that represents pre-Aryan tradition. Some historians also believe that the Umga was a factory where temples were made by rock-cut techniques. One can still find the rocks dispersed all over the mountain containing archaeological proof.

If you want to have some good picture with nature, mountain it's good place to visit. You also get a chance to do worship there as temple is there. There is four tier so on their one you will see one temple, on level two there is one more God. It's assumed that there is one shivling if you will hug him fully and desire something it will be fulfill.

The temple is kept clean. You can also do a mini trek here. It takes about 10 mins one way. Make sure you plan to come back while there is daylight if you plan for the trek.
