Since it is situated in a convenient location in the city, it is very easily accessible. Guwahati City Bus Number 6 provides with direct public transportation. This is an added advantage for the place and one of the reasons behind its popularity. Moreover the temple is believed to be very sacred to the pilgrims who visit here. There are around 452 steps of staircase, which is required to climb in order to access the temple. A decade or two back, this was a dirt road amongst the moderately dense jungle of this region. But today, a whole staircase of marble has been built, and that too from money donated by pilgrims and tourist visiting to this place.
