Himachal’s Ropeway Project for Pilgrims
In a significant move to elevate religious tourism, Himachal Pradesh’s Una district is set to witness a divine transformation. The revered Mata Chintpurni Temple, a beacon of faith and one of the esteemed Shakti Peethas, is at the heart of this development. A 1.1 km ropeway, estimated to cost INR 76.50 crore, is proposed, promising to enhance the pilgrimage experience.
The Ropeway Revelation: 700 Passengers Per Hour
Imagine gliding up to the sacred Mata Chintpurni Temple, surrounded by panoramic views of the divine landscape. This dream is close to reality with the proposed ropeway designed to ferry 700 passengers hourly, offering a serene journey to the shrine, per official reports.
Alleviating Access: A Response to Congestion
The current single-lane road leading to the temple from Baba Mai Dass Bhawan parking area has long been a bottleneck for devotees, especially during auspicious events like Navratri. The ropeway is a much-awaited solution to these congestion woes, marking a new chapter in the temple’s accessibility.
