Pandit Omprakash Kaushik

Arbuda Devi Temple is located on Mount Abu in the Arvali Hills, and Guru Shikhar is the highest peak. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga. It is believed that the half-body part of Sati (‘Adhar’) fell here and it was found that the image of Adhar Devi hanging in mid-air is the reason this temple is called Adhar Devi Temple. Navaratri is the most important festival celebrated in this temple. The best time to visit Arbuda Devi Temple is from October to March.
