Chotila Chamunda Mataji Temple: An Important Gujarati Destination

hi my name is Keyur

My travel journey is something like this, I went to Chamunda Mataji temple Chotila, I live in Rajkot and the distance between Rajkot and Chotila is about 46 kilometers and the temple is on a mountain, to go there one has to climb 650 to 700 steps and I like mountains a lot, but I am afraid of heights, earlier I was not so afraid, now I am afraid, but I went there, it was very peaceful and there were a lot of devotees there, so I enjoyed a lot, I went there on 21 December 2023 and now I was sitting for free, so I thought I will share my journey with all of you. I share my journey. Chotila is a very good place. If you want to spend a good time one day, no one stays there at the upper temple at night. Even Pandit ji comes down after doing the evening ritual because it is believed that Mataji comes there at night. Chotila is the birthplace of Bollywood star actress Dimple Kapadiya. The food there is also very good. So come all of you once. Chotila Taluka, Surendranagar district, located near Rajkot, Gujarat, India. I am uploading as many photos I have in my phone.
