Karni Mata Temple

Table of Contents

Details

A temple that holds immense religious significance in the history of Rajasthan. This temple was built in the 16th century. Karni Mata was said to be born in the 14th century and was said to be the incarnation of Goddess Durga. It is said that she had promised the death god “Lord Yamraj” that whenever one of her family members from her lineage die they will stay with her and be reborn as rats and this cycle goes on.

This is how she was remembered and was worshipped in Rajasthan. Karni Mata is considered the saviour of Udaipur and is built on the Machalla Hills near the Doodh Talai Lake. This temple is accessible through a ropeway and also by a small trek up the hill where the temple is situated. 

The devotees have to walk as bikes and cars are not allowed up the hill. This temple is in the heart of the city and is accessible through cabs, autos and rented cars. If you are travelling from an outside city or a state and reaching Udaipur by a flight, train or a bus then the temple is 24 kms away from the airport and 4 kms away from the bus stop and the city station.
