The Durgadevi Park Temple of Vaishnodevi is about 20-km from
the city of Pune ,
in Pimpri. This temple is a replica of the Vaishnodevi temple located at
the Katra village in Jammu and Kashmir. It was built in just 90 days in
the year 1993. Vaishnodevi is also called, 'Jai Mata Di'. It is said that
this deity fulfils all your desires.
Huge bare rocks and a couple of coconut trees in between are seen to the
left of the temple which set an example of how one can grow in
unfavourable conditions also-only if one decides to. There is a spring
that adds to the scenic beauty of the temple. The inner part of the temple
is hexagonal in shape and the walls are covered with a variety of
beautiful pictures. In order to see the Devi, one has to crawl through a
small cave. There is an almost-live spring in the cave, which
automatically washes your feet clean before you reach the Devi, to touch
her feet.
