Mata Lal Devi Temple

ਮਾਤਾ ਲਾਲ ਦੇਵੀ ਮੰਦਰ

A Hindu temple modeled on the Vaishno Devi cave shrine, where visitors must stoop through a maze-like artificial cave and wade through water.

This temple honors Lal Devi, a female saint of the 20th century. Its interior imitates the Vaishno Devi cave shrine in Kashmir and is designed as a winding artificial cave. Worshippers must stoop through low passages and wade through water up to their ankles. The route is lined with mirror decorations and statues, giving it a playful feel. Locals believe that praying here can help with having children. Shoes must be removed before entering the temple. Entry is free. The cave is narrow and damp, so people who are claustrophobic should think twice.
