Story of The Temple
Divine Tales and Sacred History
According to Devi Bhagwat Purana, Maa Sheetla emerged from the divine fire of Shiva’s anger to destroy disease and pestilence. When humanity suffered from smallpox and fevers, she appeared as a calm, compassionate mother, carrying a cooling pot of healing water and riding a donkey.
It is said that visiting this temple in Varanasi grants immunity from ailments, especially to children, and shields the family from negative energies and unknown fears.
