Yamai Temple, Aundh – The Temple

Yamai Temple, Aundh – The Temple
The Temple is situated on top of the hill. The top of the hill can either be reached by climbing 432 steps, starts at the bottom of the hill or by car using a road. There is a parking available at the top. The sanctum houses an idol of Yamai (Mahishasura Mardini) in black stone. It is almost 2 meters high and is in a cross-legged sitting position.







The temple is the family shrine (Kula Devata) for a large number of Marathi families. The idol has four hands and is carrying gada, arrow, Trishul and Paan patra. The temple kalash is adorned with 7 kg solid gold. There is another temple for Yamai Devi located in the town apart from the one on the hill.
