  Review : It is a beautiful temple and is visited by devotees throughout the year and there is heavy rush during the first 9 days of first month of Indian Calendar -Chaitra. We visited the temple but couldn't go inside the main temple where nine jwalas are eternally burning from the earth as there were thousands of devotees in the queue and we couldn't have Darshan till next day if remained in the Queue. We took Darshan of Padukas kept outside the main temple with the help of security persons who were considerate as we had gone there from Mumbai and had to leave next day morning. We had however Jwala Mata Darshan earlier when we had come 3-4 years back. One must visit the temple to experience the spirituality and peace.

  Review : One of the famous Shakti Peeth. Jwalamukhi Temple in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, is a must-visit for its unique eternal flames and tranquil surroundings. The temple exudes spiritual energy, offering a serene atmosphere perfect for prayer and reflection. The scenic location adds to the charm, and the nearby market is great for souvenirs. A memorable experience for devotees and travelers alike! We travelled from Dharmshala by taxi and the route was very nice. No Toll No rush. To reach the temple we have to walk for few minutes but auto facility is also available. The temple premise was very neat and clean. No rush as we were there in off season. Beautiful Temple And peace full place must visit once

  Review : Legend has it that this is the place where Goddess Sati's tongue fell on the Earth when Lord Vishnu cut apart her body with his Sudharshan Chakra. She is revered as Maa Durga who is manifested here as the flames that leap through the fissured rocks.

  Review : Visited in the evening aarti and i will say, I was lucky to be there and got Mata g 's blessings. The feelings or vibes are different here. Spent around 3 hours in the temple and it was fabulous 😍. Just go for darshan. Dont worry about stays and all, everything is available outside. Just outside the bus stand. You will find buses to every point from here.
