Sheetla Mata Mandir in Gurgram: Information

The story of Sheetla Mata’s Mandir located in Gurgaon is linked to the Mahabharata period. It is believed that in the Mahabharata period, Guru Dronacharya used to give knowledge of weapons and weapons to Kauravas and Pandavas here. When Guru Drona attained Veergati in the Mahabharata war, his kindness became Sati with him. It is believed that even after the persuasion of lakhs of people, she did not agree and sat on the funeral pyre of Guru Drona after wearing 16 adornments. At that time he blessed the people that whosoever reaches this Sati place of mine with his wish, his wish will definitely be fulfilled.

What does the history of Sheetla temple say?

It is said that in the seventeenth century, the Maharaja of Bharatpur got a temple constructed at Gurgaon at the site of Mata Kripi’s sati and installed a 1.25 kg gold idol of Mata Kripi there. It is said that later a Mughal emperor dropped the idol in the pond, which was later taken out by a Singha devotee after seeing the mother. It is said that seeing the tenacity of Singha Bhagat, the regional people started worshiping his feet.

Another interesting anecdote regarding the installation of the idol is that Farrukh Nagar, a little far from Gurgaon, had a very beautiful daughter of a carpenter. The mention of her beauty reached the then emperor of Delhi. The king expressed his desire for marriage but the girl’s father did not approve of the daughter’s marriage with the heretic king. He complained to Suraj Mal, the Maharaja of Bharatpur, but he avoided it by telling the issue of another state. When he was returning dejected, he met Yuvraj and pleaded before him.

On this, Yuvraj rebelled against his father and attacked Delhi. Before the attack, he sought a vow of victory from his mother in Gurgaon and resolved to get the mother’s wall fixed. After being victorious, he made a permanent shrine of Mata here.

The same story is presented in another angle as well.

According to this Maharaja Bharatpur halted at Ballabhgarh to march on Delhi, after which the horses were not moving forward. Astrologers told that after entering the limits of Gurugram, we were deprived of worship, then the Maharaja asked for a vow that after conquering the Red Fort, he would get the Mata’s permanent shrine made.
