Gaumukh Temple

About Gaumukh Temple
Down on the Abu Road side of Mount Abu, a small stream flows from the mouth of a marble cow, giving the shrine its name. There is also a marble figure of the bull Nandi, Shiva's vehicle. The tank here, Agni Kund, is said to be the site of the sacrificial fire, made by sage Vashistha, from which four of the great Rajput clans were born. An image of Vashishtha is flanked by the figures of Rama and Krishna.

To reach the temple you have to take a path with 750 steps down to the valley.

General Tips:
Shoes and all leather articles should be left at the entrance of the temple.
