Churrio Jabal Durga Mata Temple (چوڙيو جبل, pronunciation: choo-ryo ja-bal) is situated on a hill named Churrio, located in Nangarparkar in the Tharparkar District in the Sindh province of Pakistan. This is a historic temple and is visited annually by 200,000 pilgrims on Shivratri.[1] Hindus bring cremated ashes of their departed beloveds to immerse in the holy water in the temple.[2] The valuable and multi-coloured hill supporting the temple is mined for its rare and expensive granite, which is posing a serious threat to the temple.[3]
