Nice Temple

It is an interesting temple, it's said that once the Devi grants your wish you bring back a bell for her so there are many bells everywhere. It is a small temple but very nice.

A different feel surrounded by bells

A popular temple with the visitors, people pay their obeisance to the goddess deity by tying small bells wish making their wishes. The name of the temple comes from the hula on which the goddess rests..
