While
visiting
the
magnificent
"Chittaugarh
Fort",
just
between
"Padmini's
Palace"
and
"Vijay
Stambha"
(the
"Victory
Tower",
dedicated
to
Lord
Vishnu),
you
will
find
a
true
architectural
gem:
the
"Kalika
Mata
Temple".
This
temple
was
built
in
the
8th
century
and
dedicated
to
Lord
Surya
(the
Sun
God).
At
the
14th
century,
after
its
destruction
by
Delhi's
Sultan
Alauddin
Khilji's
army,
the
temple
was
reconstructed
and
then
dedicated
to
Goddess
Kalika.
Intricate
carvings
and
designs
adorn
its
gates,
pillars
and
ceilings,
as
well
as
the
beautiful
narrowed
rooftop.
"Kalika
Mata
Temple"
is
one
of
the
most
visited
temples,
at
"Chittaurgarh
Fort",
by
tourists
and
also
by
the
local
population,
as
religious
rites
are
still
performed
within
its
precincts.
Goddess
Kalika,
most
commonly
known
as
Goddess
Kali,
is
believed
to
be
an
incarnation
of
Goddess
Durga,
the
"Divine
Mother
of
the
Universe"
and
destroyer
of
all
evil
forces.
Dress
properly,
be
silent
and
respectful.
You
are
visiting
a
sacred
and
active
temple.
May
Mother
Kalika
and
Mother
Durga
protect
your
journey
at
"Chittaurgarh
Fort"
and
Rajashtan,
with
their
blessings
for
enjoyment
and
salvation.
Say
a
prayer.
Silently.
Enjoy!
