Why to visit Saptashrungi Temple
To get to the pinnacle of the temple, climb 510 steps or ride the ropeway, which takes around 2 minutes and costs INR 90 for adults and INR 45 for children. There is a canteen that serves food. The temple provides free food to its worshippers during major holidays such as Navratri and Poornima. To use this service on regular days, each devotee must pay INR 15 as prasad. Food is served from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Saptashrungi is a Hindu pilgrimage site around 60 kilometres south of Nasik. The goddess Saptashrungi Nivasin's temple is also the half-Shaktipeeth of Maharashtra's three and a half Shaktipeeths. One of the limbs of Sati's (Lord Shiva's wife) right arm is thought to have fallen here. Saptashrungi is encircled by seven mountain summits with 108 kundas (bodies of water) and woods brimming with medicinal herbs.
