The temple
Bhuvaneshwari Temple stands on a small hill in the Telco area of Jamshedpur. It was established in 1978 by Swami Rangarajan and is dedicated to the goddess Bhuvaneshwari. Its style is South Indian, with a five-tier gopuram (gateway tower) rising over the entrance. Devotees believe different forms of the goddess reside in the temple's pillars.
The climb and the view
A flight of steps leads from the road up to the temple. At the top, the hill gives a wide view over the Telco area and the steel city beyond. Early morning and evening are cool and calm, and the evening aarti is a good time to visit.
Festivals
Navratri is the busiest time of year, with special pujas, decorations and long queues. Weekends are busier than weekdays.
Visiting
Remove shoes before entering the temple area, dress modestly and keep phones silent. Photography inside the shrine is not appropriate, but the gopuram and the view from the hill are fine to photograph.
Getting there
Telco is in the east of the city. An auto or cab from Bistupur or Sakchi is easy. Evening visits pair well with a meal back in the city centre.
