Beautiful temple and place to visit.between mountains awesome weather and no commercial activities. Must visit place. Also there is tapo van near the hill with beautiful temple there too.

Superb place for people interested in trekking, as it's a secluded (as it's still clean), peacefully, natural place with rough terrain
One can feel oneness with silence and nature.
No shops nearby, also carry own drinking water with light food and something to spread and rest a while.
Jain religious place and can see rich green fields and arvalli ranges till eyes view.
There's also a small temple at peak in front of main temple but one has to find his own way down the gorge and again way up, there's no marked pathway so it's a true adventurous trek

Best to visit in monsoon. Great place for photography. Also the place is super clean and maintained.

About the location:  Located 128km north of Ahmedabad, and only 20km from Vadnagar, the 3-peaked hill is significant for Buddhists and Jains. While the oldest Jain temple was built in the 12th century, Buddhist monuments date back to 4th century on this hill. Reaching the hilltop involves a trek. On reaching you can see small shrines dedicated to Buddhist Goddess, Devi Taranamata. Weathered terracotta images of Buddha and four carved images of Dhyani Buddha on a stone plate can be seen in cave formations. The Taranga Jain Temple is further up from here. This 12th century derasar is one of the best-preserved temples in Gujarat. There is a five-metre tall sculpture of the 2nd Jain Tirthankara, Shri Ajitnath, who represents inner stillness. The Svetambara complex consists of 14 temples, but there are 5 other Digambara shrines as well.
Brief History:  The earliest archaeological activity in 1938 reported that this was historically a Buddhist site from the 4th-5th century. According to Jain researchers, this place was known as Tarvur, Taravar Nagar, Tarangiri or Tarangarh. The holy book, ‘Kumarpal Pratibodh’ by Acharya Shri Somprabhsurishwar records the establishment of the temple of Shashanadhishthatri Shri Siddhadayika Devi by the then ruler King Vatsrai during 6th century. Another legend states that the local Buddhist King Veni Vatsaraja and Jain monk Khaputacharya built a temple for goddess Tara together.
