￼ Padhai Mata



 The temple of Kali Mata Padhai is situated on a rugged stony hilly terrain with densely grown cedar trees. This is four and half kilometres from Shimla.  From main town Shimla either you can decide to walk on foot or take buses or taxis from Lakkar Bazar or Auckland tunnel. There are several pedestrian approach roads to reach the temple. One is through Elysium, Auckland, Longwood, Bharari old bazaar. Walk up hill from Bharari bazaar, take left pedestrian forest path about 500 mts and reach the temple. Second option is to take pucka road on the left from Auckland tunnel and reach Dudhli. From Dudhli it is again about 500 mts uphill forest area but enjoyable walk to the temple. Another  option is, if you are going through own vehicle or taxi, to drive about one kilometer from Dudhli, but little short of Kamyana, you will find a board indicating uphill turn to right which is about 500 mts again. You will find another board to your left where you can park your car and walk a little distance of about 50 mts trail to the temple. A walk of about an hour is certainly the best option if you want to enjoy the forest rich in flora and cedar.



 

Once you reach the top of the hill, where Padhai temple is situated, you will definitely forget all your exertions and sweat.  The all round views of Shimla, Summerhill, Mashobra, Craignano etc are breathtaking. The temple complex is quietly spread over the length of this beautiful hill top. Beside the main sacrosanct of Siddhida Kali Mata, there are temples dedicated to Siddheshwar Mahadev Shiv, Satya Narayan Bhagwan Vishnu & Lakshmi, Durga, Bhairo, Lord Hanumana and other Hindu deities.
