The temple of the Goddess is also present here. During his life time, Sevalal Baba would often visit Chenna Keshav temple on a hill top, close to Kalo Kundo. This is the temple where he sought the darshan of Goddess. His horse’s horse shoe markings can still be seen here on a stone. Thousands of devotees visit this place every year. Devotees from across the country follow the 40 day austerity period by wearing the Sevalal Baba mala. The ine blessings of Sevalal Baba, the humble presents and donations by devotees have enabled the successful implementation of Nitya Annadanam, where devotees are provided with free meals.
