Pavagadh Temple Gujarat
The well-known and the oldest Pavagadh temple of Mahakali are located at Pavagadh, near Vadodara, one of the chief cities of Gujarat.

This holy place has become the place for the pilgrimage for almost all Hindus in India. As a result, lots of guests pay their visit at this holy place a lot of times throughout a year. Mainly, nine days in the Gujarati month Aso (English month October) are considered the most holy days as the most well-known Navratri fair is taking place at this time.

The millions of pilgrims come to this temple of Mahakali. The pavagadh temple remains open through out the day during this period. This holy place is among the three main Shaktipeeths in Gujarat.

It has been supposed in the Hindu shastras that after the well-known Tandava dance of Lord Shiva, the different parts of the body of Sati fell at numerous places. These places are called Shaktipeeths. It is said that the left breast of the Sati had fallen here at Pavagadh.

As the name suggest, the temple is situated on a mountain, near to the Champaner town. Pavagadh temple is well linked by road from all the main cities of Gujarat. The buses are available from Vadodara at around every 30 minutes. Pavagadh is only around 30 miles away from Vadodara.
