Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a scenic boat ride on the Gomati River through a forested gorge flanked by steep hills to reach vertical rock faces carved with large Hindu deities. The main panel features a 20-foot high carving of Devi Chakrakma along with images of Lord Shiva, Vishnu, Kartikeya and Durga. The setting is natural and forested with no built temple complex, and exploration is limited to viewing carvings from the river and riverbank.
