    Jaipur- The Pink City, and the capital of Rajasthan, has always been associated with royal families who have made significant contributions to the state. The presence of beautiful palaces, forts, and temples demonstrates their link to this must-see destination in India. Along with decorating Jaipur with exquisite palaces and forts, the Maharajas began to build a few temples that turned out to be magnificent works of art. Jaipur's silhouette began to appear respectable with temples such as Shila Devi, Galta Ji, Pataleshwar, and Govind Devji. Despite its growth, this city has managed to strike a balance between ancient and modern times. Shila Devi temple is a famous tourist destination of Jaipur and a temple dedicated to the Goddess Durga. This temple stands within Amer Fort. In 1604, Maharaja Man Singh brought the Goddess Shila Mata's statue from Jessore, "Bangladesh." It is believed that the Goddess appeared in the Maharaja's dream and instructed him to retrieve her statue, which was floating in the sea near Jessore (now in Bangladesh), and place it in a temple. Raja Man Singh found the idol from the water in the form of a Shila (Slab), and when it was cleaned and washed, the current idol appeared, hence the name Shila Mata. Interestingly, the temple took ten years to build. During the nine-day Navratri celebration, devotees offer special prayers at the Shila Devi temple. Thousands of people gather from Jaipur and the neighbouring areas to make offerings to Shila Devi. The entire area is illuminated with beautiful lights around Navratri. In the 17th century, a high astrologer told Maharaja Man Singh that if he worshipped this goddess, he would never fail in any fight. So, following that, Maharaja Man Singh fought with West Bengal's monarch and married his lovely daughter. The then-ruler of Bengal had sent Maharaja Man Singh this black statue of "Kali Maa" as a gift. According to certain historians, Maharaja Man Singh found this black stone in the sea that was floating. When the Maharaja held this unexpected sight, he chose to carve it into a stone and set it in his royal area as "Kaali Maa." ∆ Shila Devi Temple Jaipur Timings Day Timing •Monday 6:00 am – 12:00 pm & 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm •Tuesday 6:00 am – 12:00 pm & 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm •Wedesday 6:00 am – 12:00 pm & 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm •Thursday 6:00 am – 12:00 pm & 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm •Friday 6:00 am – 12:00 pm & 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm •Saturday 6:00 am – 12:00 pm & 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm •Sunday 6:00 am – 12:00 pm & 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm

    Great experience witnessing one of the ancient 16th century temple that was built inside the great Amer Fort. Please be mindful of the timings to visit and if you are only at the Amer fort for the temple than you don't need the entry ticket. No photography devices and/or mobile phones are permitted inside the premises! Jai Mata Di🙏

    Shila Devi (Hindi: शिला देवी) is the famous idol of Durga. Her temple is located in Amer Fort in Jaipur, India. The idol was brought by Raja Man Singh I of Amber from Jessore (now in Bangladesh) in 1604 CE.[1] On the sixth day of winter Navratris, special prayers are offered to this goddess. Hundreds of thousands of people from Jaipur and surrounding areas gather to pay offerings to Shila Devi.

    This is a really good place to visit. I reduced 2 stars because there are very less benches to sit. There is no canteen as well. Earlier there used to be many. Overall, it's a good place with tourists all around the globe

    Sheetla mata mandir: This temple is of great significance and very popular. Maa murti with face turned slightly to one side has a story in itself. Timing: darshan timings are 7am to 12 pm and 4pm to 8 pm. How to reach: 1. Stairs walking 2. Jeep by a road way, charge around 400rs for 4 member. 3. Own vehicle by a road way, some steep curves are there and a charge of rs 50 against govt slip. 4. Elephant ride, expensive around 500 for one person. (Not sure)

    The Shila Mata Mandir is a Hindu temple inside Amber Fort and is renowned for the statue of Durga in the sanctum Sanctorum. You can easily spot the temple because it’s got a star shaped fountain just in front of the entrance. Worth visiting when in Amber Fort, but it’s probably a better experience for devotees.

    Jaipur. Shila Mata, the revered goddess of the Kachwaha dynasty of the Jaipur royal family, is the main Shaktipeeth of the people of Jaipur after independence. The temple has great glory and is also miraculous. It is said that Raja Mansingh I, the glorious ruler of Amber State (the state was called Amber before the establishment of Jaipur), had immense blessings. With the blessings of Shila Mata, Raja Mansingh, while being the chief commander of the Mughal ruler Akbar, won more than eighty battles. Since then, the rulers of Jaipur dynasty ruled with their mother as their ruler. Before independence, only members of the royal family and prominent feudal lords were able to have darshan of Shila Mata in the Shila Mata temple located in the Amer Palace complex, whereas now hundreds of devotees visit the Mata every day.

    This temple was built by Maharaja Mansingh ji of Jaipur and Sheela Devi Mata was established. This temple is situated in Amer Fort. She is the Kuldevi of the royal family of Jaipur. There is a lot of crowd during Navratri. Thousands of people come to see the mother.

    I didn't see the temple, but fort is worst to see. Time and money wasting. Ticket price is Rs. 100/- per person. Fort doesn't deserve so much high price for ticket. I just want to see the tunnel which goes to Jaigarh fort but it was second time that tunnel closed due to maintenance. Don't know true or false excuse.

    Pictures are not allowed. However, this temple is a must visit and has a significant amount of devotion in Jaipur. The temple's gate is made of silver. The internal face of the temple is made of Italian marble as per one of the workers and is in the shape of Banana leaf. Please explore Awaraprani on YouTube and Insta.

    This place is massive. The building is beautiful, and there are incredible views around every corner. All the usual disclaimers about crowded spaces and high-presure sales pitches, etc., but it's certainly not to be missed.

    A very divine experience, Shila Mata is a very unique Kali Mata idol brought by the Maharaja from Jessore now in Bangladesh. The idol is very different from the other Kali Mata idols in W.Bengal. Interestingly the Maharaja's family owns the temple and Pooja is performed by the same generation of the priest who were specialy brought by the Maharaja from Jessore 450 year's ago.

    The place is surreal, the ultimate power and the indefinite Shakti. It is the reason, the inspiration and the force that stood behind the makers of the Amber Fort and made it invincible. Pratiksha Bhatt, founder- Wellbingers, Brand owner - Live Well Lounge

    You can not visit this part of India without visiting this fort. Just because of the imposant buildings, many rooms connected with narrow stairs, the scenic views, the photographic interesting spots and so on.
