Darshan
There are three ways of doing darshan at the temple:
1) Darshan while going through general line which could take 3-4 hours for darshan
2) Darshan with darshan pass of INR 501 per person available at the counter near temple. This will take around 1 hour (subject to people in line).
3) Darshan with panda, in this case panda will help you with the rituals and will take your offering to the main sanctum and offer it to the goddess.
Reviews:
The temple is on hill, we reached the place by cab and after 5-10 minutes of walk we were at the stairs of the temple, one has to go through some stairs for reaching temple entry gate. There were various stalls on the way to temple.
Since this is one of the shakti peetha hence large number of devotees visit this temple. If you are opting for darshan pass then purchase pass from the counter as soon the same opens because the counter closes after certain time and re-opens in the second half (around 2 pm). Various pandas are also available in temple complex.
Temple premise is huge with sufficient place for sitting and separate place for lighting diya and agarbatti. One could see goats and birds in temple as people offer them to goddess.
The architecture of temple is beautiful.
