About Jhandewalan Devi Mandir
Jhandewalan Temple is an ancient shrine where a devout merchant, Badri Das, unearthed a hidden idol of the Mother Goddess in the 18th century.
The temple gets its name from the iconic prayer flags ('jhandas') offered by devotees. The original cave shrine is preserved downstairs.
