Perched atop a serene hill in Multhan village, Ashapuri Karuna Dham is a visionary spiritual campus rooted in history and devotion. The site houses a historic 15th-century temple of Ashapuri Mataji, currently undergoing sensitive renovation, with a natural lion’s den located behind it — adding to the mystic aura of the place. The flat hilltop has long served as a vibrant gathering ground during Navratri, drawing devotees from across the region.
The master plan envisions a holistic spiritual ecosystem that supports worship, community, and cultural celebration. At its heart stands the main shikhara temple of Ashapuri Mataji, surrounded by thoughtfully planned spaces:
A Gaushala complex integrated with Bhakt Niwas (devotee accommodation) and storage facilities.
A dedicated Katha Pandal for religious discourses and spiritual gatherings.
Residential quarters for the temple priest, ensuring continuity of rituals and care.
A grand open gathering plaza, designed to host large-scale Navratri celebrations for the entire village.
A striking architectural highlight is the iconic stage structure, featuring a dramatic spaceframe with tensile roofing, visible from long distances — becoming a landmark beacon on the hill. Complementing this are grand lion sculptures, strategically placed to create a powerful visual pull, symbolically guiding devotees upward toward the temple.
On the western edge, a carefully curated sunset viewpoint offers panoramic views of the village below — blending spirituality with the beauty of nature.
Behind the hill unfolds “Narmada Udhyan”, a landscaped spiritual garden inspired by the sacred Narmada Parikrama. The space features stepped seating, lush landscape elements, and a flowing water body representing a miniature Narmada River — allowing visitors to experience the essence of the pilgrimage within the campus itself.
Three grand entrance gates mark the arrival points, establishing a ceremonial threshold and reinforcing the sacred identity of the campus.
Ashapuri Karuna Dham is envisioned not merely as a temple complex, but as a cultural, spiritual, and communal landmark — where faith, architecture, and landscape converge to create a timeless destination.
