Vasai-Virar, April 11: Virar’s iconic Jivdani Mata Temple is set to unveil a striking new attraction: a 1,500-feet-high glass gallery (skywalk) constructed atop the hill, promising visitors a panoramic viewing experience unlike any other in the region.
According to a post by Mumbai News, the transparent walkway has been crafted using special 39mm tempered glass by Essar Group. The structure offers sweeping views stretching from Safala to Uttan, along with the Virar-Arnala belt, all visible in a single frame. The experience is expected to be particularly captivating during sunset, when the landscape is bathed in golden hues.
The skywalk, built at an estimated cost of ₹84 lakh, has been designed to accommodate up to 200 visitors at a time. Authorities have ensured that the structure meets safety standards, with security systems and lighting arrangements currently in the final stages of completion. A formal inauguration is expected to take place soon.
The project has been developed with the aim of boosting tourism and enhancing the overall visitor experience at the temple, which already draws large numbers of devotees.
Positioned at a significant height, the glass gallery is designed to create a thrilling, almost adventurous skywalk effect, offering visitors the sensation of walking in the air while overlooking the vast surrounding landscape.
About the Jivdani Temple
The Jivdani Temple is located atop a hill in Virar East (Palghar). According to information available on the Jivdani Temple website, in the 17th century, there was a fort called Jivdhan on this hill. Within the fort there are caves and water cisterns. Previously people used to walk up the 1,500 steps to the temple, but the introduction of the funicular train in recent years, most choose to go by the train.
