Jawalamukhi temple

The Mata Jawala Ji Temple is situated in the Jawalamukhi town, about 34 kilometers south of Kangra in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. Mata Jawala Ji Temple is considered one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, which are sacred places dedicated to the Goddess Shakti. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Jawala Ji, who is worshipped in the form of natural flames that burn continuously. These flames are believed to be the manifestation of the Goddess's power. The legend associated with the temple is linked to the famous mythological story of Sati, the consort of Lord Shiva. It is said that the tongue of Sati fell at this spot, and hence the continuous burning flames are considered as a divine manifestation. The temple's architecture is simple yet elegant. The sanctum sanctorum houses a brass idol of the Goddess, and the main attraction is the eternal flame that burns without any visible fuel source. The temple attracts a large number of devotees, especially during the Navaratri festival, when special celebrations and rituals are organized. Devotees offer prayers and seek the blessings of Mata Jawala Ji.
