Jivdani Temple is located at virar in east Mumbai.The Temple is situated on the top hill of viral,Jivdani mata is a hindu goddess,and hence most of the hindu people visit this temple.To reach to this temple, there are 2000 steps to climb from bottom to the hill.

It was my privilege to visit such a religious place which is a famous temple in viral,that is the Jivdani temple.So me and family started our journey on way to temple. As it had 2000 steps we had already  taken our things needed i.e food to eat ,water to drink and a mat to sit😊 ,so our climbers started to climb the steps,first we were excited to count the steps but after 700 steps  we felt tried and so we stop counting the steps and started clicking selfee's😛 on the way,while clicking the photos  we enjoyed and reach at our destination unnoticing. While going towards the temple we met various types of people coming from different states to seek the blessing's of Jivdani devi.

As per sources, people says that this Jivdani maa is well-known for fulfilling wishes and have a strong belief in her.The hill shows a very picturesque view of Virar and it's vicinity.During the nine days of the navratri festival many followers visit the shrine and devotees also tend to visit on tuesdays and sundays.While climbing we saw people climbing by taking flamble candle in their hand as they were taking this flamble candle in their hand till they reach to the top of the temple. Watching this act we were certainly astonished. There were many stalls in every distances we travelled so there was no fear of water and food for the visitors. These stoles also had jivdani's worship material.

After tiredly climbing 2000 steps with 1 and 1/2 hour we atlas reached to Jivdani devi temple. We were literally tired. After entering inside I saw a beautiful statue of jivdani devi,which was dressed with lot's of gold ornaments and visitors flowers all together temple was looking  amazing👌.

Experience in Train

[goaprism.com 1200-919.jpeg]

It was mid of November as I had just finished my semester examinations , my dad had a phone call from our relatives regarding about a visit at their place for Diwali celebration, hearing that I right away yelled at my dad "Lets go Bombay!"

 Finally the day arrived and we reached at our train stop at Thivim as the train timings were at 11:00am morning but we went at around10:30am as we didn't wanted any panicking at the very last movements. I was accompanied by my dad mom and my "partners in crime"😁 my siblings. As the train arrived with a roaring sound and halted at our station.We quickly got in and found our seats. As the train started to move by its storming sound it took off. we couldn't wait for a single second ,quickly we kept our luggage at seat and started to loiter around hear and there just like a "foreigner" in a new country, after all... we weren't aloud to go too far away from our parents eye sites due to the restrictions  clearly given to us before we left our house.

 I came across different beautiful places after Thivim  the next station was Pernem  ,than Swantwadi. After Sawantwadi the train went with high speed.As the train  was going through konkan railway track I came across my best part "tunnelssss!"we used to wait for every tunnel to come eagerly waiting to shout,scream,make full time masti with siblings. Me combining with them was like an atom bomb. There used to be a stop at some train stations and there used to be the entry of the sellers.They used to bring a huge baskets of different food items like biscuits of variety of flavors , also beverages like hot hot tea coffee,etc. But my favorite was our Goan Favorite  vada pov😋😋 I had 4-5 of them🙈 . After the amazing experiences I finally reached the busiest places I've ever visited ,it was "THE BOMBAY" train station.
