Dharamshala News (Vipan Kumar): There is a famous temple of Jwala Devi, 30 km from Kangra in Himachal Pradesh. The Jwala temple is also called the temple of the mother with a plowed mother and the Nagarkot. This temple is unique compared to other temples of Mata because no idol is worshiped here, but nine flames coming out of the womb of the earth are worshiped.
One of the 51 Shaktipeeths, this temple has an influx of devotees in Navratri. Emperor Akbar tried to extinguish this flame but he had failed. Scientists have not been able to know the reason for the continuous burning of this flame.
The credit for finding the volcanic temple goes to the Pandavas. It is counted among the main power of mother’s backs. It is believed that the tongue of Goddess Sati fell here.
In the British period, the British put full emphasis on their behalf that this energy coming out of the ground should be used. But they could not find out this flame coming out of this geology what is the reason for this. At the same time, history Akbar The Great also tried to extinguish this Jyot but he had failed.
Here, Jwalas are coming out from the womb of the earth from 9 different places on which the temple has been built. These 9 Jyotis are known as Mahakali, Annapurna, Chandi, Hinglaj, Vindhyavasini, Mahalakshmi, Saraswati, Ambika, Anjidevi.
The primary construction of this temple was done by King Bhoomi Chand. Later, Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab and King Sansarchand of Himachal got this temple completely built in 1835. This is the reason why Hindus and Sikhs have a common faith in this temple.
When Emperor Akbar heard about this temple, he was surprised. He called his army and walked towards the temple himself. Seeing the burning flames in the temple, he had doubts in his mind. He got the canal constructed after extinguishing the flames. He ordered his army to extinguish water on the flames burning in the temple.
Even after millions of efforts, Akbar’s army could not extinguish the flame of the temple. Seeing the immense glory of the Goddess Maa, she offered a quarter to a half -and -a -half kg of gold in the court of the Goddess, but the mother did not accept the umbrella and the umbrella fell and turned into another substance. Even today, this Chhatar of Emperor Akbar is kept in the temple of Jwala Devi.
