MOUNT ABU
The Fount of Indian Culture

Let us visit the temples first.

ARBUDA DEVI TEMPLE

It is a cave temple chiseled out of a huge rock lying to the North Civil Station. Arbuda Devi is the tutelary goddess of Abu, installed in a small but sanctified place, forming out of a cleft on one side of the hill. An ascent of 400 steps through a shady mango grove leads to this, and it attracts locals more. But the visitor is lured to a pond called Doodh Baoli, which narrates a strange story. Tradition rotates that it was a step well of pure milk for the exclusive use of gods and sages in the days of yore. The water being milky white, it gives sanction to the belief and he nee attraction.
