Shitala Mata ji Mandir

The Shitala Mata ji Mandir sits tucked into a narrow lane of the Old City, distinguished by its small, traditional stone entrance and the vibrant, often weathered marigold garlands draped over the threshold. Devotees visit this shrine to seek protection from ailments, particularly those involving fevers or skin conditions. Local tradition holds that the deity, Shitala Mata, commands the power to both cause and cool such infections. People leave small offerings of grain here throughout the day, maintaining a practice that predates the surrounding modern development.
