History & significance

A goddess temple on Prospect Hill above Boileauganj, one of Shimla's seven hills, at 2,176 m among deodar, pine, oak and rhododendron, with views across southern Shimla to the Tara Devi temple. It is credited to the Rana of Junga in the 18th century, though the exact date of its founding is unknown, and pilgrims come chiefly with family and marriage concerns.
