Temple is very small. So small that it is like left out place by Govt. Sanitation and cleanliness is below expectations. In Hindu mythology, this place is so significant that every woman wishes to have darshan of MangaGowri. You have to go up the steps to reach the sanctum sanctorum.Suggest Govt to take over and improve the approach and other sanitation aspects

Mangla Gouri Shaktipeeth is among the most enigmatic and much revered place of worship among all the Shaktipeeths in South Asia. Along with Kamakhya and Ujjain, it forms the trinity of three most important Shaktipeeths. Visitor have to climb up a small hillock to reach the temple site which is located within the heart of the Old Gaya. At the beginning, there is temple of Bhima (One of Five Pandavas). After climbing around 200 steps, we reached Mangala Gowri temple Complex.
Visitors do pradakshina of the main temple which is the site where breasts of Mata Sati has fallen. Main temple is quite small in size so only 2 to 3 members can go inside at one time. On every tuesday, thousands of pilgrims and devotees throng to the temple to worship Mangla Mata. Its a must visit when you are visiting Gaya.

Just few hundred yards from Vishnu Temple Gaya on a small hill top this Shaktipeeth temple is there. As per vedas when Lord Shiva was carring the burned body of his wife Sati Lord Vishnu tried to pacify Lord Shiva but when he failed to pursue Lord Shiva the leave the dead body of Sati. Lord Vishnu with help of his Sudarshna Chakra dismembered the body of Maa Sati and where ever her body parts fell all those sites became Shaktipeeths. This temple is the place where one of the Breast fell and that's why its called Maa Mangla Gauri means a Goddess of love and Vatsalya. This is a place of worship for the well being of your children, for the prosperity, and for the Mangal of you and everyone. As a Hindu its your religious duty to pay your respect and gratitude to Almighty god by visiting all the Shaktipeeths or at least where ever you can. A place worth visit.

This is a shaktipeeth. At this place only the right breast of goddess sati fell. This holy shrine resides on the top of bhasmakoot parvat. There are two ways to reach the temple. One is by climbing 251 steps which were made 25 years ago to temple and the other is the old one by climbing 51 blocks which have been created by cutting the hill. Climbing each block gives "punya " equivalent to worshipping one shaktipeeth thus till you reach the main shrine you get "punya " equivalent to worshipping all shaktipeeths.
On both sides of the shrine there are shops on both sides where you can find all necessary items for puja and the vendors can also brief you about the temple history. You should also buy ghee to offer it to the akhand jyoti inside the shrine.
There is always a small queue outside the temple and usuallt takes around 45 mins for darshan but it can also take around 5-6 hours if the queue is long i.e on Sundays,tuesdays and any other holidays or religious ceremonies. In one tum seven people can enter the temple excluding two priest. The temple has two parts- one the waiting area where 5 pax people wait for their turn other the main area where 2 pax and 2 priest conduct the worship. The whole temple is made up of a single stone. The main idol is a circular shape breast like pindi with the face of devi in it. It is of silver and is embedded to a wall. There are200/-VIP tickets which can be bought to complete darshan in 30 mins. The idol is mostly covered with flowers due to its small size. If you give the priest a 20/- note he can show you the main idol by removing flowers.

Considered to be one of the very important Shaktipeeth, it is believed that the body of Sati fell here. The breast of Sati is worshipped here.

The temple is located on some height. We need to climb stairs to reach temple but it is worth it. The temple is well maintained and is worth a visit.

This temple of maa mangla gauri is a part of devi sati shakti peethas. U have to climb some stairs to reach up the temple built on a hill. It is close to vishnupad temple.
The temple entrance is very small and u have to bend urself to get in . There was dark in the complex with a very small but divine idol of goddess and a akhand jyoti.
U can see monkeys near the temple often .

The temple is on Mangalagowri Hill, a small hill. This is one of the Shakthipeeta. Here Maa Sati’s breast have fallen. There is road up to the foot hill, then one has to climb around 200 hundred steps.
Maa is inside a small sanctum with a narrow low height door. Two to three people can have darshan at a time. There is no statue as such but her sthana can be seen in the light of burning lamp.
There are upa devalayas outside the temple.
The temple is open from 6am to 8pm.

As per indu mythology, the chest area of parvati has fallen here.
It's a highly recognised, admired and preyed skati peeth of Gaya.

Not too far from the parking lot. However, you need to climb stairs. I didn't see nor notice any alternative route to the top.
