This beautiful temple is situated on the
top of a hill at Parwanoo. Its location is very beautiful as it is on the top
of a hill so one can see the beautiful surroundings specially the area of Kalka Parwanoo and Panchkula and if I am not wrong one can see Chandigarh also in the clear day. There is a
statue of Mata Asha Purni in the temple and a big statue of lord Shivji. The
blue coloured statue of lord Shivji can be seen from Kalka because of its height. The
temple is decorated with white marbles and as the name suggests it is said that
whosoever comes to pray in this temple get his/her wishes fulfilled.
