The Chamunda Mataji Temple in
Jodhpur, Rajasthan is situated in the southern end of the
Mehrangarh Fort. Chamunda Mataji was the favorite goddess of Rao Jodha. In 1460, he
brought her idol from the old capital of Mandore in 1460. Then, it was
installed in the Mehrangarh Fort. Till date, the goddess remains the Isht Devi (the adopted goddess) of Maharajas and the Royal Family.
Chamunda Mata is worshipped by most of Jodhpur's citizens also. During
Dussehra celebrations, Mehrangarh Fort is thronged by devotees to get a
glimpse of Chamunda Devi. If you are a devotee of Chamunda Devi, do
visit this temple, when in Jodhpur. |
