The temple is located atop the Bilwa Parvat[1][2] on the Sivalik Hills, the southernmost mountain chain of the Himalayas.

The temple is known for being the holy abode of Mansa Devi, a form of Shakti and is said to have emerged from the mind of the Lord Shiva.

Devotees who pray to Mansa Devi for fulfilling their wishes tie threads to the branches of a tree located in the temple.

Goddess Mansa is also offered coconuts, fruits, garlands and incense sticks for prayer.

The rope-way carries the pilgrims from the lower station directly to the Mansa Devi Temple.
