Ashtabhuja Temple

Perched on the highest peak of the Vindhya hills in Vindhyachal, this hilltop temple is the third stop on the Trikon Parikrama and is dedicated to Goddess Ashtabhuja, an eight-armed form of Durga worshipped as Mahasaraswati. Legend holds that she is Krishna's divine sister who sought refuge here after escaping Kansa. The temple commands a sweeping panoramic view of the Ganga and is a major draw during Navratri.
