Tukai Mata mandir is said to be established about 400 years ago. During Navratri the temple is well decorated.
This is a small gateway for local residents who can enjoy the scenic beauty of the concrete jungle of baner and neighboring areas from this location. This temple is situated on Baner hill which is 2224m in height present a good destination in the city for trekkers too. History of Baner dates back to the 17th century, when Kalamkar family of the Mali caste inherited Baner as a heritage, becoming the rulers of Baner. Kavaji Kalamkar built a temple of the goddess “Tukai Mata” on a hillock near Baner, which is now known as Baner Hill, part of the Baner-Pashan Biodiversity Park. One can view the whole of baner on one side and the pashan area from the other. The place is actually the home for a plantation drive that has been taken up enthusiastically by the locals, helped by numerous volunteers. One can see people coming up early in the morning every Sunday and working in groups to make the place greener. Still in recent times the area seems to be not well maaintained baring the temple which has been renovated to be well posh temple with marble flooring.
